I thought "Jepsen.io" was just Kyle Kingsbury. Interesting that there's new author for this analysis. (Also might explain the lack of memes, which I always liked.)
Hi, new author here. :) Kyle was clear that I could write it however I wanted to, but I opted for the more formal tone used in recent analyses.
Nice job!
Yeah! Kit's done a bunch of work on Jepsen's core and Knossos, the linearizability checker. This is her first analysis, and I'm excited to see more. :)
These analyses are a great way to get educated about distributed systems, even if you aren't in a position to evaluate choosing one. Thanks for growing and creating Jepsen!
Kyle got so well known for Jepsen that it became a full time thing for him. He got such a backlog that he started bringing in people to help him do the testing.
I think Kyle recently said that he's been making analyses a bit more formal, so even when he writes analyses, there's less of what we're used to.
