For quite sometime, I’ve wanted to give implementing the Raft consensus protocol a try. I first looked at MIT’s 6.5840 Distributed Systems labs as a way to do this but it is in Go and my Go skills have atrophied as well as I have been deeply investing time in Rust. The other option was PingCAPs approach (https://github.com/pingcap/talent-plan/blob/master/courses/d...) but I also wanted the ability to define my own types and RPC approach, so I decided to do it from scratch. I feel more comfortable with the “lab” approach though so I did use Claude to act as a “instructor” and code reviewer. All of the code is my own and the sans-I/O design was my own (Claude did not start with this concept). I’ve been working on this for about 6 months now and I think it’s in a decent state! I want to add linearizable reads eventually but at the moment, a

A similar resource I recently discovered and it’s not that popular: https://github.com/pingcap/talent-plan/tree/master/courses/r... Writing a Bitcask(KV wal) like db in Rust. Really cool and simple ideas. The white paper is like 5 pages.

I am compiling resources for a platforms similar to Leetcode (kata kind challenges) focused on backend development. I am aware of few of the resources which i've listed down below, will appreciate if you guys can share bit more. - https://hackattic.com/ : Interesting programming Problems. - https://sadservers.com/ : Learn Linux by solving problems. - https://fly.io/dist-sys/ : Distributed Systems Problems. - https://github.com/pingcap/talent-plan/ : System Programming / Distributed System Challenge. - https://protohackers.com/ : Server Programming Challenges. - https://codecrafters.io/ : Implement server tech / softwares from scratch. - https://hyperskill.org/ : Lots of projects based tutorials.

Awesome stuff! Just to share more in a course I know in the same area: open source training courses about distributed database and distributed systems by PingCap. https://github.com/pingcap/talent-plan

I've been working through this: https://github.com/pingcap/talent-plan

I'm learning Rust as well; in my opinion, starting with small guided projects is the most stimulating and incremental approach, although unfortunately, I find that starting practicing Rust - differently from other languages - requires "having read the whole reference". The resources I've reviewed are: - Rustlings: I personally don't like the project; it's exercises for the sake of exercising, which may be good or not, depending on the person/approach. - Ferrous systems exercises (set of mini projects): very small and simple, but interesting to work on. I think they're a very good resource to try immediately after reading the book. - Rust Programming By Example (book): if one finds one or more projects interesting to work on, this is a very fun book. it's "not-perfectly-produced" though, if you know what I mean. - Hands-On Data Structures

The company, PingCAP, that made the course in the linked article also ported MIT 6.824 to Rust as part of their talent plan. You can check it out here https://github.com/pingcap/talent-plan/tree/master/dss
