I mean, how many infrastructure teams in 2018 are tracking their "system-to-administrator ratio" as Hamilton discusses? Do you have a target ratio that you're trying to hit? (Me? Oh, yeah, of course I do... eek.)

"Harvest, Yield and Scalable Tolerant Systems" is a nuanced look at CAP, and how the vocabulary how breaks down in discussing how systems degrade. h/t to

"Paxos Made Live" is a good companion to the Paxos/Chubby papers since it gives some engineering perspective on what happens when you try to do it for reals https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.com/en//archive/paxos_made_live.pdf …

I haven't read that one! Queued up. I think study of Paxos in practical systems is really fascinating, e.g. I wish there was a paper on Paxos in Zookeeper, maybe there is?

Are you thinking of the ZAB paper? https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/b02c/6b00bd5dbdbd951fddb00b906c82fa80f0b3.pdf …

Oh I just remembered, for a more recent look at uses of CRDTs: http://christophermeiklejohn.com/publications/hotedge-2018-preprint.pdf … (involves amusing Lambda hacks, though not the crux of it :P)

@thisisfranklin Are there well-known production, maybe open source, systems using CRDTs (other than@copyconstruct 's Riak example?)5 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
HyperLogLog (which is widely used in production) isn’t usually cited as a CRDT but absolutely is one. So’s a Dynamo-style vector clock holding a counter.

Ah, HyperLogLog as CRDT is an awesome point, and already used widely (in e.g. Redis now I think). dynamo-style vector clock as unlabeled CRDT is a great point as well, I hadn't thought of it that way, but now it clicks.
