A template for PostgreSQL High Availability with Etcd, Consul, ZooKeeper, or Kubernetes

Project mention: Citus is not ACID but Eventually Consistent | dev.to | 2023-08-15

Citus doesn't provide fault tolerance. Each shard is a monolithic PostgreSQL. To reduce downtime on failures, you can protect each shard with a standby database. As this is a complex configuration, Patroni can help. For this lab I'll use the Citus+Patroni docker-compose-citus.yml from https://github.com/zalando/patroni.git:

Python implementation of the Raft Distributed Consensus Algorithm with ASGI + Starlette + FastAPI

Project mention: The Raft Consensus Algorithm | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-03

I had to implement Raft for a network programming course during my bachelors and I had the same experience regarding how gentle the paper was. Especially for people new to distributed algorithms, I can really recommend it.
My implementation is probably not that great, but I put it online anyway if anyone is interested: https://github.com/skowalak/fastapi-raft/
