This repository provides demo and examples of Go implementations of distributed paradigms and algorithms.

What paradigms/algorithms are implemented?

• client / server
• leader-election (Bully Algorithm)
• rpc (Remote Procedure Call)

How to Run

The client-server example can be run in different modes using the -mode flag.

Demo Mode (Default)

This runs both the client and server in the same process for a quick demonstration.

go run ./client-server

Server & Client Mode

To demonstrate the distributed nature, run the server and client in separate terminals.

# Terminal 1: Run the server
go run ./client-server -mode server

# Terminal 2: Run the client
go run ./client-server -mode client

Test

We use ginkgo for testing.

go test ./...

or

ginkgo  -v ./...
