Asynchronous storage management in a distributed system

A method comprising:

• receiving, by one or more processors, from a user device, a user request for a storage operation related to storage of data at a storage;
• adding, by the one or more processors, an update to an update queue to persist the storage operation prior to sending a response to the user device indicating performance of the storage operation, wherein adding the update to the update queue includes sending a request to cause the update to be added to the update queue, wherein the request specifies at least one of a type of the storage operation or a state to be achieved by the storage operation;
• sending, by the one or more processors, information about the update to the update queue to at least one other processor for adding the update to at least one other update queue managed by the at least one other processor;
• and
• subsequently obtaining, by the one or more processors, the update from the update queue and processing the update to perform the storage operation.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a user device, a user request for a storage operation related to storage of data at a storage;
• adding an update to an update queue to persist the storage operation prior to sending a response to the user device indicating performance of the storage operation, wherein adding the update to the update queue includes sending a request to cause the update to be added to the update queue, wherein the request specifies at least one of a type of the storage operation or a state to be achieved by the storage operation;
• sending information about the update to the update queue to at least one other processor for adding the update to at least one other update queue managed by the at least one other processor;
• and
• subsequently obtaining the update from the update queue and processing the update to perform the storage operation.
