PulseFS is an HTTP-based replicated filestore for distributed coordination. Its features include:

• Sequentially consistent All the replicas see updates in the same order.
• Ephemeral files and transient directories for implementing distributed coordination primitives such as locks and barriers.
• Sequential files for ordering writes.
• Dynamic cluster reconfiguration Add/remove servers without restarting the cluster.
• Atomic updates Atomically execute multiple operations.
