Raft: the Hidden Algorithm that Powers the Cloud
About
What do Kubernetes, MongoDB, Etcd and dozens of cloud projects have in common?
How can they maintain a reliable state and keep running even if some of their nodes crash?
The answer to both questions is the same: using the Raft consensus algorithm.
The paper describing it came out in 2013 and immediately became a de-facto standard in cloud software.
In this talk we will see a step-by-step explanation on how it works, enjoying its simple yet powerful design.
In this way, we will understand better how the software we use everyday work.

Axerve S.p.a.
I learned coding early and consulting became soon my job - I was eager to create software.
Some years ago, I collaborated in the development of the first Italian challenger bank - Hype. Then, I co-founded an ecommerce SaaS startup and, as CTO, I built our distributed system and a remote-only development team. Lately, I have joined Axerve to build the next fintech thing.
Nowadays, you can find me at RomaJS community or online, answering random questions on Stackoverflow.
