Neat Algorithms – Paxos
- kjeetgill 8y agoA big draw of this particular article is the beautiful animations to go along with the explanations. They're pretty good at showing the consequences of certain parts of the algorithm; such as why a sequence number is needed. Distributed systems algorithms are particularly in need of better/more digestible visualization and pedagogical tools. Anyone know of any others? Raft has a few, but there are variants of Paxos, Multi-Paxos, Zab, View-stamped Replication.
