Hi, Erik! Nice to see this on the HN front page.<p>Have you considered using this as a test bed to explore alternative architectures and approaches? The classical Volcano architecture used here has been established for many decades, and it could be fun exercise to see what can be done to improve on it, while remaining true to the original goal of having something that's purely for educational purposes.
Super cool project and the code is delightfully readable as well!<p>I had the pleasure of having Erik advise me for my thesis on distributed databases a few years ago. I’m very lucky to have had the chance to tap into his knowledge on all things distributed systems. On top of being super knowledgeable he’s also a terrific teacher!
There were quite a few interesting projects linked to in the prior comment threads from 2021 <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27874992">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27874992</a>
Thanks a lot, Erik. I learnt so much from digging into your code and attempting to implement parts of it by referring to your code, especially around Raft. Looking forward to doing it again. Absolutely fantastic work.
