Abstract: A data storage method implemented by a storage node in a distributed storage system includes receiving first data of a first strip in a first stripe, wherein the first stripe comprises a first plurality of strips, receiving second data of a second strip in a second stripe, wherein the second strip comprises a second plurality of strips, wherein a first logical address of the first data is the same as a second logical address of the second data, and generating a record indicating that the first data reaches the storage node before the second data.

Abstract: An application programming interface (API) gateway cluster control method includes determining, by an API gateway cluster, that a quantity of API requests received per unit of time exceeds a traffic control parameter, obtaining a load parameter of the API gateway cluster and a load parameter of a service cluster, determining, based on the load parameter of the API gateway cluster, that the API gateway cluster is congested, determining, based on the load parameter of the service cluster, that the service cluster is not congested, and scaling out the API gateway cluster.
