		icy on July 20, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Garage: Open-Source Distributed Object Storage I've been running this on K3s at home (for my website and file server) and it's been very well behaved: https://git.icyphox.sh/infra/tree/master/apps/garage I find it interesting that they chose CRDTs over Raft for distributed consensus.

from an operations point of view, I am surprised anyone likes Raft. I have yet to see any application implement Raft in a way that does not spectacularly fail in production and require manual intervention to resolve.

CRDTs do not have the same failure scenarios and favor uptime over consistency.
