Practical Write-Ahead Logging In DIstributed Systems

One of the major problem with distributed systems nowadays is that we usually work with very high level abstractions and we don't understand anymore how a distributed system is supposed to work, what challenges do we have and what patterns of distributed systems we can use to overcome them. In this video I dive deeper into the concept of write-ahead logging in distributed systems. What problems does it solve? How do we go about implementing it? How does it really look in practice? But worry not, because in this video I'll show you a practical implementation of write-ahead logging in a distributed system.

This is great stuff! Can you create some simple architecture diagrams to get a high level understanding of the components before diving into code? It would help with developing a mental model. Keep it up, good stuff!

Thanks for the feedback. It's a good idea and I'm already working on it for a next video. (Probably the very next one will be about clean architecture, but then it's distributed systems video with things around node advertisement)

Its kind of outbox pattern but instead of using db we are using disk directly.

[@adrianbuda3522]

I want more videos on topics related to distributed systems and how to implement them.

Thanks for getting in touch. I'll do my best in this regard :)

Sometimes, when you have a lot to talk about, I think some slides can do a little bit of justice to some of us who understands a little bit more when we can see something. Just an opinion or suggestion. 🙏

That's a great feedback! Thank you.
