This week it’s time to show you how easy it is to get started with writing a Mesos scheduler.
Imagine just having a Docker Image, but you know that you further down the line need to add some pretty complex features into your scheduler, that are just not covered elsewhere. That’s where Mesos-starter comes to the rescue.
Introduction to Tansu
Tansu is a distributed key value and lock store designed to maintain configuration and other data that needs to be highly available. It uses the Raft Consensus protocol to keep data synchronised. Tansu has a simple REST based using the open API specification (fka Swagger) that also streams changes to the client.
By default it uses mDNS for membership making it simple to form a cluster. Tansu favours availability over consensus, with followers responding directly to read requests by default (which may be overriden on a per request basis). Requests are automatically routed within the cluster to the leader for locks, writes and deletions.
