Abstract
In example embodiments, techniques are described for implementing serverless property stores to hold properties that persist application customization data, such as settings. A serverless property store employs an “edge base” paradigm, wherein an edge computing device executes a property store service that maintains a local, periodically-synchronized copy of a portion of a database that stores properties (i.e., a local property cache”). A cloud container of a blob storage service of a cloud datacenter maintains a master copy of the database (i.e., a “property store database”). Read operations on a client computing device may be performed against the local property cache. Write operations may likewise be performed against the local property cache, however, they may be serialized via a write lock maintained in the cloud container. Multiple serverless property stores may be employed to store different properties each having different scopes.
