Software engineering, distributed systems, databases, and the teams that build them
My GopherCon 2023 talk, Build Your Own Distributed System Using Go, has been published to YouTube. It was a great conference, and I appreciated the opportunity to share some lessons on designing, developing, and operating modern distributed systems in general,…
Hashicorp recently released version 1.0 of their Raft consensus package. The Hashicorp implementation, along with SQLite, forms the core of rqlite. rqlite has now been ported to release 1.0 and will be a key change in the upcoming release of…
rqlite is a replicated relational database built on SQLite, with distributed consensus provided by the Raft consensus protocol. It gracefully handles leader election, and can tolerate machine failure. Written in Go, v2.2.1 is out now.
rqlite is a replicated SQLite database, with distributed consensus provided by the Raft consensus protocol. Written in Go v2.0 is now out. This release is a significant upgrade relative to v1.0.
rqlite provides robust replication for SQLite databases using the Raft consensus protocol. Coded in Go it ensures that all changes made to the leader SQLite database are replicated to all other nodes in the cluster, providing fault-tolerance and reliability. It’s been 18 months since…
I’ve started replacing go-raft within rqlite with the implementation from Hashicorp. go-raft is no longer maintained, and I’ve good experience with the Hashicorp code, due to my work with InfluxDB and hraftd. I’m also going to change the API, so…
Hashicorp provide a nice implementation of the Raft consensus protocol, and it’s at the heart of InfluxDB (amongst other systems). I wanted to experiment with a simple system built using this particular Raft implementation, so was inspired by raftd to…
