Explore a comprehensive overview of distributed systems in this 43-minute conference talk from Scala Days Berlin 2018. Delve into the intricacies of clusters, failure detection mechanisms, and consensus protocols. Learn about key concepts such as indirect probing, UDP multicast, gossip algorithms, and state machines. Discover optimization techniques for failure detection and dissemination in distributed environments. Gain insights into time synchronization, version vectors, and the importance of group membership in cluster management. Examine real-world applications and conventions in building robust distributed systems, concluding with a practical look at cluster formation and operation.
