Onyx Straps in For a Jepsening

  • I just spent ~5 minutes clicking through on the Onyx site (learn, docs, blog, support, learn/FAQ, github) and still have no idea what it does.

    It's a "a masterless, cloud scale, fault tolerant, high performance distributed computation system"! So it's EC2?

  • It was a lot of fun testing Onyx using Jepsen, though it did take some time to get things right. If anyone has questions about testing a distributed system in this way I'd be happy to answer them.

  • Great overview over this style of testing and how you used it.

  • Was bracing for something about Mary Lou Jepsen. No dice. What a drag.
