I've never heard of etcd being described as a "leader election tool." I'm sure it works, just not sure that's why it was written or how that might even look.
Also, as pleased as I am that pijul exists and as grateful as I am for the tireless efforts of the author of the post in trying to bring it about, I am less than enthused that an i3 notification bar and a laptop is a major contributor in the supply chain of backups for a server that people are supposed to trust as the final resting place of their code. There are several free-ish tools out there that allow this type of automation to take place that are more reliable, e.g. CircleCI.

- jldugger 5y agoI mean, that's kinda what RAFT fundamentally is, right?
- ljm 5y agoMeh, if it's that small, then it's wasteful to start setting up infra around PagerDuty or New Relic or Slack or what not. That would come later if the whole thing takes off.
