  1. etcd

    Distributed reliable key-value store for the most critical data of a distributed system

    Project mention: Global Distributed Consensus: The Missing Piece in Kubernetes | dev.to | 2026-05-04

    Kubernetes runs on etcd, which uses the Raft consensus algorithm. It's a proven model for what it was designed to do: keep a single cluster's state perfectly consistent. When you create a deployment or a pod dies, every node in the cluster agrees on the new state of the world almost instantly.
