Distributed Systems lecture series
Home | cse223b
CSE 223B is a 4-unit graduate subject with lectures, paper discussions, a midterm, and technical report exercise, and a major term research project culminating in writing a research paper of your own. It will present abstractions and implementation techniques that facilitate the design of distributed systems–including both operating systems and sophisticated Internet servers–that can deal with the demands of real-world workloads. Topics will include efficient operating system primitives, high-performance network servers, load shedding, storage systems, security, and fault tolerance.

Centralised systems were designed with the best of intentions, but were turned against us anyway. And peer-to-peer systems will be exactly the same. How do we make the next generation of protocols ...

Introduction to AT Protocol
Walkthrough of the various parts and concepts in Bluesky's AT Protocol (ATProto), the types of servers involved and how it all fits together
I often get emails asking for ideas (or materials) to learn about distributed systems. I always recommend getting started with Gossip Glomers. Only six challenges, some easy and some difficult, but an absolute top tier fun and learning experience fly.io/dist-sys
