Shameless plug for a similar post I've made, listing all the variations of Paxos (including Raft), etc:

No implementations/code but if you've ever wondered what the rest of the research landscape looks like for the paxos family tree of coordination (there's also some mention of stuff like SWIM[0], aka batched & randomized gossip at the end as well)

- rstuart4133 6y agoThat's a pretty impressive summary. Thanks for writing it.
- hardwaresofton 6y agoNo problem -- I didn't do any of the research so it was very easy. I got a brief intriguing introduction to consensus a long time ago in university but never really appreciated how interesting the space is until much later. I really ought to send an email thanking the professor that taught the class.
