gossip-glomers VS build-your-own-x

There's a nice-looking series of exercises from fly.io: https://fly.io/dist-sys/

(I haven't actually done them myself yet, but they look great. Not a standalone resource, but good for practice)

Really worth noting that Maelstrom was the project they used to build the "Fly.io Distributed Systems Challenge" https://fly.io/dist-sys/ which was pretty popular at one point and discussed here, too. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34897723

LiteFS works similarly to async replication you'd find in Postgres or MySQL so it doesn't try to be as strict as something running a distributed consensus protocol like Raft. The guarantees for async replication are fairly loose so I'm not sure Jepsen testing would be useful for that per se.

On the LiteFS Cloud side, it currently does streaming backups so it has similar guarantees but we are expanding its feature set and I could see running Jepsen testing on that in the future. We worked with Kyle Kingsbury in the past on some distributed systems challenges[1] and he was awesome to work with. Would definitely love to engage with him again.

They have really good tech blog posts. Also, they have https://fly.io/dist-sys/

Gossip Glomers https://fly.io/dist-sys/ by fly.io is a great way to learn distributed systems. They are fun to solve challenges. zio-maelstrom helps you get started faster in Scala!

There’s also this to practice https://fly.io/dist-sys/

Yeah no the embedded stuff is more a hobby, I'm interested professionally in stuff like what you said you're doing now in another comment, distributed systems and such. Infrastructure for cloud providers, that kind of thing. Right now I'm doing this distributed systems challenge series thing https://fly.io/dist-sys/ which should be cool to put on my github.
