Systems and methods for controlling placement of replicas of data in a multi-region database are provided. A selection of a super region including at least first and second database regions can be received. A voting replica of data can be stored within the second database region based on the selection of the super region and a failure of the first database region. A selection of a secondary database region can be received. A voting replica of data can be stored within the secondary database region based on the selection of the secondary database region and a failure of a primary database region. Non-voting replicas of data can be stored in a subset of a plurality of database regions. A selection of a restricted replica placement configuration can be received. The non-voting replicas can be removed from database regions based on the selection of the restricted replica placement configuration.

Methods and systems for executing non-blocking transactions at a database are provided. The method includes receiving a write transaction that is directed to a partition of a table stored by a cluster of database nodes. The method includes generating, at a database node of the cluster, a synthetic timestamp based on a first time associated with the database node and a duration, wherein the synthetic timestamp exceeds the first time by the duration. The method includes executing, based on determining the synthetic timestamp, one or more operations of the write transaction at one or more replicas of the partition. The method includes committing, based on a threshold number of acknowledgements, the one or more operations of the write transaction at the one or more replicas. The method includes sending, based on a second time exceeding the synthetic timestamp, an indication of success of the write transaction.
