Google Docs Autosave Efficiency

Imagine you're part of the team working on Google Docs. The platform currently features an autosave function that efficiently saves document changes to the cloud in real-time. However, this autosave feature is causing performance issues, particularly due to slow disk write speeds, which create bottlenecks in our data processing pipeline. What strategies could be implemented to improve the autosave function, enhancing data throughput and minimizing save latency? Please state any assumptions you make clearly.
