Ch. 14: Consensus is now up on YouTube! In this last session of the series, @TiemmaBakare leads us in discussing consensus algorithms and how they enable agreement in distributed systems. 🎥 Watch on YouTube → youtu.be/QoZdYDt5F9I

Ch. 13: Distributed Transactions is now up on YouTube! In this session, Chidinma breaks down distributed transactions and how they help preserve ACID across multiple databases. We cover two and three phase-commits, then look at partitioning and sharding for scalability. The session wraps up with a review of real-world systems like Calvin and Google Spanner and how they handle coordination, consistency, and timing challenges. 🎥 Watch on YouTube → youtube.com/watch?v=II1y1HQ9…

Ch. 12: Anti-Entropy and Dissemination is now up on YouTube! In this session, @HeyAmaka takes us through Chapter 12 of @therealdatabass, exploring anti-entropy and data dissemination in distributed systems. We discuss how mechanisms like read repair, hinted handoff, and digest reads help reconcile inconsistencies between replicas. 🎥 Watch on YouTube → youtube.com/watch?v=tgNRaQER…

Ch. 11: Replication and Consistency is up here and on YouTube! In this session, @damilolaajiboye covers Chapter 11 of @therealdatabass. He goes into replication, consistency, CAP theorem trade-offs, quorum systems, and tools like CDRTs and Raft for building reliable distributed systems. 🎥 Watch on YouTube → youtu.be/4B0Z-i9R3bw

Ch. 10: Leader Election is now up on YouTube! In this session, @pascalobba explores Chapter 10 of @therealdatabass, discussing leader election in distributed systems; what it is, why it matters, and how it helps in coordinating nodes. We also review Kubernetes' leader election algorithm and the key properties that make for a reliable implementation. 🎥 Watch on YouTube → youtu.be/JoXZOpcAr0g

Ch. 9: Failure Detection is now live now available to watch! In this session, @chidiwilliams__ takes us through Chapter 9 of @therealdatabass. We discuss how distributed systems detect failure and reach consensus when nodes go dark. We review concepts like heartbeats and pings, gossip between neighbours, and how systems move from binary detection to probabilistic, history-aware failure accrual. 🎥Watch on YouTube → youtu.be/ucgas9rMgxM

Ch. 8: [Distributed Systems] Introduction and Overview is now available! In this session, @TiemmaBakare takes us through chapter 8 of @therealdatabass. We discuss the fundamentals of distributed systems, from concurrency and shared state to consensus and cascading failures, and explore what it takes to design and maintain distributed systems. 🎥Watch on YouTube → youtu.be/JAOVeb04H7I?si=sWZV…
