Thanks. Yes this explanation is something I can agree with. It does not provide monotonic reads.

That question doesn’t make much sense. If you have quorum then eventually repairs will kick in and will get replicated everywhere. So it can tolerate up to N/2 failures just like other consensus system. Because this is basically Raft.

Instead of doing all this complicated thing, how about simply following a Raft-like consensus protocol with the minor modification that the leader won't include a write op its read processing until that write op has been applied to the

I am not a PM, so at least I found this definition and mental model useful. Why is no one commenting on this answer!

What does "stream.write_all(&number_as_bytes).unwrap();" do if the socket buffer is full? Does it block this virtual thread running this function? Or does the stream keep buffering? or is it sending the message to some other p

Can I find a better reading somewhere else on this?

It was disappointing to see no detail of actual design of notification system using DDB and lambda. I was hoping to see schema information architecture etc. instead it was high level stuff.

Both the documents look great and I want to read them. But, how useful is it for me to read about NetBSD if I am interested in details of inner workings of Linux kernel? Do the concepts carry over effectively?

Even in AWS, its not a direct paper knock-off.

In practice, for the systems where I built a replication system from the ground up, once you factor in all the performance, scale, storage layer and networking implications, this Paxos vs. Raft thing is largely a theoretical discussion. Bas

What's a way to implement this in practice? Does this article imply that if 1 core was writing the value of a variable (without any locking) and other cores were simply reading the value of that variable without any locking, it will ju

If "Cloud = lower upfront, higher long term, but no ceiling. On-prem = higher upfront, lower long term, but ceiling" is true, then how come the revenue of cloud companies keeps going up? That would mean the incoming rate of users
