YOW! 2020 Melbourne
We trust databases to store our data, but should we? Jepsen combines generative testing techniques with fault injection to verify the safety of distributed databases. We'll learn the basics of distributed systems testing, and show how those techniques found consistency errors in MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Redis-Raft. Finally, we'll conclude with advice for testing your own systems.
