Hey! I built a playground called Advent of Distributed Systems (https://aods.cryingpotato.com/) where you can work through the Fly.io distributed systems challenges (https://fly.io/dist-sys/1/) directly in your browser. Running challenges like this directly in the browser has often been the best way for me to get the activation energy to start them since it bypasses all the annoying dev environment setup that has to happen as a precursor to working on it.
The coding environment was built with another project I'm working on called Cannon (https://cannon.cryingpotato.com/) that aims to let you embed codeblocks of any language in your browser. Right now the Go environment runs on a Modal backend using their sandbox, but I'm hoping to use the excellent work done on Hackpad (https://github.com/hack-pad/hackpad/tree/main) to run the whole thing in your browser, with no network calls necessary, soon.
Let me know what you think - week 3 is coming out soon!
I took a Distributed Systems course at Georgia Tech this spring, which used a learning framework from the University of Washington: https://github.com/emichael/dslabs
You make a key-value store using multiple techniques, from a basic single-node KV store, to a primary/replica, to PAXOS, to sharded PAXOS (which is essentially what AWS DynamoDB is)
There are tests to validate your implementation. I learned a ton from this, although I gave up at the last milestone because my grade was satisfactory in the class :)
