	\hspace{1em}
	\begin{minipage}{7cm}
		\textbf{Building a "stable" system:}
		\vspace{1em}

		Enterprise-grade systems typically employ:
		\vspace{1em}
		\begin{itemize}
			\item RAID
			\item Redundant power grid + UPS
			\item Redundant Internet connections
			\item Low-latency links
			\item ... 
		\end{itemize}
		\vspace{1em}
		$\to$ costly, only worth at DC scale\\
		$\to$ still risk of DC-level incident...
	\end{minipage}

	\begin{minipage}{7cm}
		\textbf{Building a \underline{resilient} system:}
		\vspace{1em}

		An alternative, cheaper way:
		\vspace{1em}
		\begin{itemize}
			\item Commodity hardware \\(e.g. old desktop PCs)
				\vspace{.5em}
			\item Commodity Internet \\(e.g. FTTB, FTTH) and power grid
				\vspace{.5em}
			\item \textbf{Geographical redundancy} \\(multi-site replication)

	\hspace{1em}
	\begin{minipage}{7cm}
		\textbf{Consensus-based systems:}
		\vspace{1em}
		\begin{itemize}
			\item \textbf{Leader-based:} a leader is elected to coordinate
				all reads and writes
				\vspace{1em}
			\item Allows for \textbf{sequential reasoning}:
				program as if running on a single machine
				\vspace{1em}
			\item Serializability is one of the \\
				\textbf{strongest consistency guarantees}
				\vspace{1em}
			\item \textbf{Costly}, the leader is a bottleneck;
				leader elections on failure take time
		\end{itemize}
	\end{minipage}
	\hfill
	\begin{minipage}{7cm} \visible<2->{
		\textbf{Weakly consistent systems:}
		\vspace{1em}
		\begin{itemize}
			\item \textbf{Nodes are equivalent}, any node
				can originate a read or write operation
				\vspace{1em}
			\item \textbf{Operations must be independent},
				conflicts are resolved after the fact
				\vspace{1em}
			\item Strongest achievable consistency:\\
				\textbf{read-after-write consistency}\\(using quorums)
				\vspace{1em}
			\item \textbf{Fast}, no single bottleneck;\\
				works transparently with offline nodes
		\end{itemize}

\begin{frame}
	\frametitle{Why avoid consensus?}
	Consensus can be implemented reasonably well in practice, so why avoid it?
	\vspace{2em}
	\begin{itemize}
		\item \textbf{Software complexity:} RAFT and PAXOS are complex beasts;\\
			harder to prove, harder to reason about
			\vspace{1.5em}
		\item \textbf{Performance issues:}
			\vspace{1em}
			\begin{itemize}
				\item Taking a decision may take an \textbf{arbitrary number of steps} (in adverse scenarios)
					\vspace{1em}
				\item The leader is a \textbf{bottleneck} for all requests;\\
					even in leaderless approaches, \textbf{all nodes must process all operations in order}
					\vspace{1em}
				\item Particularly \textbf{sensitive to higher latency} between nodes
			\end{itemize}
	\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
	\frametitle{Objective: the right level of consistency for Garage}

	\underline{Constraints:} slow network (geographical distance), node unavailability/crashes\\
	\underline{Objective:} maximize availability, maintain an \emph{appropriate level of consistency}\\
	\vspace{1em}
	\begin{enumerate}
		\item<2-> \textbf{Weak consistency for most things}\\
			\vspace{1em}
			\underline{Example:} \texttt{PutObject}\\
			\vspace{.5em}
			If two clients write the same
			object at the same time, one of the two is implicitly overwritten.
			No need to coordinate, use a \emph{last-writer-wins register}.
			\vspace{1em}
		\item<3-> \textbf{Stronger consistency only when necessary}\\
			\vspace{1em}
			\underline{Example:} \texttt{CreateBucket}\\
			\vspace{.5em}
			A bucket is a reserved name in a shared namespace,
			two clients should be prevented from both creating the same bucket
			(\emph{mutual exclusion}).
	\end{enumerate}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
	\frametitle{The possibility of \emph{leaderless consensus}}
	Currently, Garage \emph{only has weak consistency}. Is fast, but \texttt{CreateBucket} is broken!

	\visible<2->{
		\vspace{1em}
		Leaderless consensus (Antoniadis et al., 2023) alleviates issues with RAFT and PAXOS:
			\vspace{1em}
		\begin{itemize}
			\item \textbf{No leader.} All nodes participate equally at each time step,
				and different nodes can be unavailable at different times without issues.
				\\ \vspace{.5em} $\to$ better tolerance to the high latency (remove bottleneck issue)
				\\ $\to$ tolerates crash transparently
				\vspace{1em}
			\item \textbf{Simpler formalization.} The algorithm is very simple to express and to analyze in mathematical terms.
		\end{itemize}
	}
	\visible<3->{
		\vspace{1em}
		One of the possible subjects for this PhD:
		\\$\to$ \emph{integration of leaderless consensus in Garage} + testing + perf eval, etc.
