The last time I was working in a setting where a rock-solid Chubby-alike under serious load was constantly top of mind was some years ago, and at that time you used ZK if failure wasn’t an option.
But AFAIK people have been putting heavy, heavy work on Raft-based options like etcd and Consul and others for many years now.
Is one of those systems like the new best default? Certainly the conceptual clarity and elegance of Raft seem like things that would show up in performance and reliability, but I’m just dated on this.
What are people (who aren’t at Google or married to GCP) using as the best practices default when the stakes are high in 2023?
I think there’s a production-grade Rust implementation of Raft from IIRC TikV, and a rock-solid, high performance lock server seems squarely in the sweet spot for Rust. Are people using that?
