Presentation: Effortless Eventual Consistency with Weave Mesh
Location:
- Mountbatten, 6th flr.
Duration
Day of week:
- Tuesday
Key Takeaways
- Gain a functioning understanding of what Gossip is and a way to contextualize it in a broader space of communication protocols and distributed systems
- Learn various implementations of Gossip and understand where each can be applied successfully.
- Learn how Gossip can be used to build interesting abstractions, such as a Raft consensus algorithm on top of Weave Net.
Abstract
We built Weave Net to make it easy to network your Docker containers however you like. At its core, Weave Net is powered by an eventually-consistent, partition-tolerant, completely decentralised mesh. We're packaging this technology as Weave Mesh, so that you can build your own distributed applications with the same simplicity and reliability as Weave Net. In this talk we will explain the theory behind Weave Mesh, some of the key features we learned were important, and demonstrate some exciting use-cases, like distributed caching and state replication.
