Abstract
Methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, are described for managing session state for a plurality of media-based conference sessions. A server computing device receives a first request to update a data element in a primary in-memory data structure, the request comprising an update to the data element associated with a session state of one or more in-process media-based conference sessions. The server blocks subsequent requests to update the data element that are received after the first request and stores the blocked requests sequentially in a temporary queue based upon a timestamp associated with each blocked request. The server replicates the update to the data element to a secondary in-memory data structure. The server updates the data element in the primary in-memory data structure based upon the update to the data element in the first request, and processes the blocked requests based upon the timestamp upon completion of the replication.
