This is a draft issue that I hope gets filled out more and more by lurkers over time.

The road map has the following:

• custom cross-host supervisors
• mult-host service architecture tooling
• support for planet scale msg patterns and systems

But in order to do these things we need both a service discovery system (presumably by relying on a (set of) protocols) and, a modern concensus system which these days is usually in the form of either a centralized algo such as raft or, the thoroughly more pumped distributed equivalents.

Here are some resources to start poking at for research and tinkering:

• RAFT pumps:

  • this cool slide show
  • the quick links on github.io
  • the paper
  • the implementations list

• zero-conf protocols:

  • python-zeroconf, it's built on threads..

• BFT variants:

  • to be filled out by the crypto pump bois

As always, lurkers engage.
