Providing a distributed transaction information storage service

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving, by one or more configured computing systems of a transaction information storage service, information to store about one or more transactions;
• selecting, by the one or more configured computing systems and from a plurality of logical storage partitions that are provided by the transaction information storage service and that are associated with different attributes related to transactions, and based at least in part on one or more attributes of the information about the one or more transactions, a logical storage partition on which to store the information about the one or more transactions;
• and
• storing, by the one or more configured computing systems, the information about the one or more transactions on one or more data storage systems that are provided by the transaction information storage service and that are associated with the selected logical storage partition.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored contents that cause a computing device to perform automated operations including at least:

• receiving, by the computing device, a request for a transaction information storage service to store information about a transaction;
• selecting, by the computing device and from a plurality of logical storage partitions that are provided by the transaction information storage service and that are associated with different attributes, and based at least in part on one or more attributes associated with the information to be stored about the transaction, a logical storage partition on which to store the information about the transaction;
• and
• storing, by the computing device, the information about the transaction on one or more data storage systems that are provided by the transaction information storage service and that are associated with the selected logical storage partition.

A system comprising:

• a plurality of data storage devices configured to store transaction information in a plurality of logical storage partitions;
• one or more hardware processors of one or more computing devices;
• and
• one or more memories with stored instructions that, when executed by at least one hardware processor of the one or more hardware processors, cause the system to respond to multiple storage requests each providing information about a transaction by, for each of the storage requests:
• selecting, from the plurality of logical storage partitions and based at least in part on one or more attributes of the information about the transaction provided by the storage request, a logical storage partition;
• and
• storing, on one or more of the plurality of data storage devices associated with the selected logical storage partition, the information about the transaction provided by the storage request.
