Someone I know once worked for the company maintaining etcd at the time and... they were appalled at how it was underpinning millions of dollars of VC dreams on it, implicitly via kubernetes, with the flaws and downsides, and operational complexities it has. And now to hear you say this of Nomad and Raft. I guess, my take away at this second is to really be skeptical of hype that I don't have years of operational knowledge and experience with. Which, to be fair, regarding my current tech du jour (well, 9+ years), I have a list of complaints that could span a short novela.
