Traverse
A consensus-backed coordination service. Nodes agree on a shared log without a central broker; failures heal without operator intervention.
Placeholder entry — replace with a real project.
Traverse keeps a replicated log across a small cluster using the Raft protocol. It exists to answer one question: how little machinery does a team actually need to run a fault-tolerant queue?
The survey
- Leader election settles in well under a second on a three-node cluster.
- Snapshots compact the log so a recovering node catches up in one round trip.
- The wire protocol is small enough to reimplement from the spec in an afternoon.
