Replicated partitioned commit logs, zero-copy socket transfers, and end-to-end consumer offsets.
Distributed data and infrastructure
Understand databases, messaging platforms, storage systems, coordination and distributed compute.
Problem-Oriented Chapters
Continuous stream analytics, out-of-order event time watermarks, and Chandy-Lamport state checkpoints.
Formal consensus via Raft state machines, leadership heartbeats, etcd leases, and monotonic fencing tokens.
Decentralized Dynamo rings, sloppy quorums, Merkle anti-entropy, and Multi-Raft transactional SQL engines.
Reed-Solomon erasure coding over Galois fields, chunk placement algorithms, and petabyte-scale durability.
Distributed inverted indexes, segment merge policies, and SIMD columnar vector execution.
Automated node remediation, cluster drain runbooks, live partition rebalancing, and data repair.
Architect and implement a production-grade distributed key-value store from scratch: LSM storage, Raft, and consistent hash routing.
