Creator of Raft is speaking at our meetup. What questions do you want answered?
- sisivee 11y agoFor context, Raft is the consensus algorithm that powers awesome distributed systems like Docker, CoreOS, Kubernetes, Consul, and more!
- justinsb 11y agoFYI, there's no Raft in Docker (AFAIK), and CoreOS and Kubernetes both have Raft via etcd.
- sisivee 11y agoWhoops, I must have heard that wrong. I thought Swarm uses it. +1 for the clarification.
- justinsb 11y agoAh, you're right - sorry! Docker Swarm can use etcd or consul, both of which use Raft: https://docs.docker.com/swarm/discovery/ https://docs.docker.com/swarm/discovery/ You may want to use consul to the list!
- justinsb 11y agoI'd ask: It seems there are a lot of implementations of Raft, few of which are entirely complete (CoreOS's etcd seems to be the best). Perhaps this is the downside of the emphasis on ease of implementation, vs creating 'golden libraries'. Which implementations does he think are the best in each language? PS What is the meetup?
- sisivee 11y agoCool, thanks for the question! We're hosting in SF if you can make it: http://www.meetup.com/Sourcegraph-Hacker-Meetup/events/221199291/ http://www.meetup.com/Sourcegraph-Hacker-Meetup/events/22119...
