I don't understand how the uniq service would be able to scale horizontally.
How would you load balance calls to uniq to different servers and make sure there's still coordination to ensure unicity of values ?
Either you keep relying on the logs for replica syncing, but then the service can't answer in a synchronous manners. Or you need some synchronous distributed lock ? But then you still have the problem associated to locking described previously in the same article.
