Popular:
- An Intuitive Explanation of Paxos
Traces the evolution from simple replication to quorum-based consistency, deriving Paxos step by step with visual examples. Covers Multi-Paxos and Fast-Paxos optimizations. - Implement a KV Store with Paxos in 200 Lines
Builds a working distributed KV store in Go from scratch using Paxos, with protobuf and gRPC. Walks through the two-phase protocol, quorum reads, and conflict resolution. - Unifying Paxos, Raft and 2PC: abstract-paxos
Derives Paxos and Raft from first principles, showing they are specialized variants of the same abstract consensus framework. Starts from "information eliminates uncertainty" and arrives at both algorithms. - Erasure Code Explained
Explains how erasure coding achieves multi-replica reliability at a fraction of the storage cost. Walks through the math from polynomial equations and Vandermonde matrices to the general k+m recovery scheme.
