Abstract
An embodiment of the invention includes a method for executing commands in a distributed computing environment. The method receives a plurality of distributed commands from one or more devices. The method determines a global command execution order for executing the received plurality of distributed commands. The method dispatches the received plurality of distributed commands to a plurality of servers hosting a plurality of corresponding shards in the distributed computing environment, where a given distributed command corresponds to one or more of a given shard if the given distributed command pertains to a state hosted by the one or more given shard. The method executes, by the one or more given shard, the given distributed command, where the execution is deterministic, and where a result of deterministic execution of the given distributed command is unanimous among the one or more given shard.
