Google had the equivalent of etcd a long, long time ago.
- scarejunba 7y agoTrue, but its a very technically sound product. Authoring it as an intern cannot be anything but a sign of prodigious skill. As an amusing anecdote, I didn't drill for internship interviews either and I ended up at a successful startup by sheer luck. I did well there, but I never achieved the level of technical brilliance that OP did. I feel like there were far more opportunities like this 8 years ago when I was doing that, though.
- mixmastamyk 7y agoWas it general and polished enough to get traction though? What’s its name?
- new_realist 7y agoetcd didn’t work initially; I wouldn’t call it polished. https://aphyr.com/posts/316-call-me-maybe-etcd-and-consul https://aphyr.com/posts/316-call-me-maybe-etcd-and-consul
- empath75 7y agoIt worked, it had a bug.
- ai_ja_nai 7y agoChubby. It was the product that inspired Zookeeper and all its various incarnations, including etcd.
- kortilla 7y agoAh, the attempt to claim credit for something that likely wasn’t inspired by Chubby at all. etcd was inspired by a hash-map more so than Chubby.
