Paxos: using two consensus-building phases to handle unreliable nodes

Unmesh Joshi is ready to start the New Year with a few more of his Patterns of Distributed Systems. With this one he attempts the tricky task of explaining Paxos. This is a well-known protocol developed by Leslie Lamport, for nodes to reach a reliable consensus when both they, and the network, are prone to unexpected failure. Although it's well-known, it's also notoriously difficult to understand, indeed we had considerable difficulty getting our heads around it. We hope this description makes it a bit easier for those who follow us.

What does it let us do that we couldn't do before?

In the past year, activist investors have pushed for retailers like Macy’s and Kohl’s to separate their eCommerce operations into separate listed entities. The argument goes that eCommerce retail growth is rapidly outpacing bricks-and-mortar business growth, and saddling a high-growth business to an ex-growth legacy company depresses enterprise value. Separating them into two listed entities liberates the trapped value and allows investors to benefit: the eCommerce business for growth, the bricks-and-mortar business for its stable (if declining) cash flows, real estate holdings and intellectual property (e.g., brand) value.

Not so fast. There are counter-arguments to making this separation, and not…

Ecosystem Mapping Canvas

Why Ecosystem Mapping? Focus on a product often leads to tunnel vision. This is a bigger problem in Enterprise where teams are tightly funded to focus on a part of the whole solution and are shrewdly judged against commitments made at the beginning of the funding cycle. This leads to silos where leaders focus more […]

Treat integration as strategic to your business

Brandon finishes his article on how we should look at integration by arguing that it is a strategic element of an enterprise's infrastructure. You can buy the best products in the world but "none of it will make you competitive in a digital world if you continue to treat integration as a tactical nuisance to overcome so you take advantage of those new systems."

Innovation theatre

I have observed organisations which had innovation labs and accelerators tend to not be successful in innovation compared to places where it is baked into the working style and leaders who set ambitious targets. The biggest reason for failure is having a small group of people concentrate on innovation and have delivery managers who concentrate […]
