There's an obvious way to know what time it is on your distributed systems; festoon it with stratum-1 NTP servers. This works pretty well and doesn't actually cost all that much assuming you rent a colo with antenna hook ups, but if you're chasing some service on amazon around along with physical exchanges, not so much.
I can think of a half dozen approaches to this using raft or whatever, but I figure someone on here must feel clever and think it would be a laff to take pity on me and tell me about it. Some weird erlang thing? I looked at the docs and was not happy with what they do, but it seems like the type of developer community that would have a good solution. |

Ich kam hierher und sah dich und deine Leute lächeln,
und sagte mir: Maggette, scheiss auf den small talk,
lass lieber deine Fäuste sprechen...

I don't really care about options (why elixir why snmp, besides I know the guy who wrote it); I just want people to tell me how they know what time it is across a world-wide cluster with geographically distributed nodes.
Don't tell me you don't; I know you people and your filthy trading tricks. I could tell you how I intend to do it (for now it's just done with hardware), but I'd assume it's a common enough requirement someone must have done it before. |
