Paxos vs. Raft: Have we reached consensus on distributed consensus?
In practice, for the systems where I built a replication system from the ground up, once you factor in all the performance, scale, storage layer and networking implications, this Paxos vs. Raft thing is largely a theoretical discussion.Basic paxos, is well, too basic and people mostly run modifications of this to get higher throughput and better latencies. After those modifications, it does not look very different from Raft with modifications applied for storage integration and so on.
