DistributedTwitter

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

Project requirements are stated in prompt.md

Steps to run:

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

Current storage implementations:

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

TODO Implementations:

Zookeeper
PostgreSQL
Cassandra
Consul

TODO:

Better unit testing
