What You'll Learn

  • Analyze distributed systems failure modes under network partitions, message loss, and clock drift.
  • Implement logical clocks and vector clocks to establish causal ordering of distributed events.
  • Construct a functional replicated state machine utilizing the Raft consensus algorithm.
  • Coordinate multi-service distributed transactions using the Saga pattern (choreography and orchestration).
  • Evaluate distributed consistency models ranging from linearizability to causal and eventual consistency.

Requirements

  • SWE 208
