A database system may maintain a plurality of log records at a distributed storage system. Each of the plurality of log records may be associated with a respective change to a data page. Upon detection of a coalesce event for a particular data page, log records linked to the particular data page may be applied to generate the particular data page in its current state. Detecting the coalesce event may be a determination that the number of log records linked to the particular data page exceeds a threshold.
