| | The CAP theorem says that in the event of a network partition, a distributed system can be either consistent or available, not both. Let us first define some of the terms in the CAP theorem. A distributed system is a group of independent computers coordinating with each other to solve a problem. The group of...

If you had a service that needed to stay up (and stay consistent), even if some of the machines in the cluster went down, then you might want to use Raft.

Travel
| I survived David Beazley's weeklong course on the Raft consensus algorithm that powers technologies like Kubernetes, MongoDB, and Neo4j. Image from https://raft.github.io/ The Raft Consensus Algorithm is a way for a gaggle of computers to agree on a sequence of events, or a "log" of events. Raft is useful for things like databases - once...
