paxos
Currently, this is an implementation of CASPaxos built on top of the sled lightweight database kit.
It is being grown into a more featureful replication library that is mindful of modern consensus research.
why not raft?
- raft is great for teaching purposes, but is not very performant
- a replicated log is just the beginning
roadmap
- simple http API
- built-in kv
- membership reconfiguration
- cheap-paxos storage reduction
- gossip-based replication of state
- log reclamation
- read-only followers
