DistributedTwitter

Make do Twitter clone with a Raft based distributed key-value data store.

Project requirements are stated in prompt.md

Steps to run:

1. Run go mod download to download all dependencies
2. Compile proto files: ./scripts/protoc.sh
3. Start etcd instances if using Raft as the storage implementation (Hint: look into scripts/initEtcd.sh file)
4. Check the server config (cmd/server/config.yaml)
5. Check the client config (cmd/web/config.yaml)
6. Start the server: go run cmd/server/twitter.go
7. Start the client: go run cmd/web/web.go
8. Navigate to localhost:3000 (or depending on your config.yaml in client)

Current storage implementations:

1. Memory: In-memory storage for users and posts, non-persistent.
2. etcd: Distributed key-value based persistent storage

TODO Implementations:

1. Zookeeper
2. PostgreSQL
3. Cassandra
4. Consul

TODO:

1. Better unit testing
