Techniques are disclosed relating to managing distributed storage of data with low latency access and durable storage. A distributed storage system may include storage caches distributed across availability zones in front of a shared object storage. Database nodes collocated with the storage caches may handle the storage, retrieval, and manipulation of data in the storage caches and the shared object storage. The shared object storage cache provides persistent storage of data for the distributed storage system while storage of the data in the storage caches is implemented to provide low latency retrieval of the storage. The storage caches across the availability zones may be populated through the shared object storage rather than moving data across availability zones.
