# :love_letter: Paxos
> A (Rust flavored) lightweight implementation of the Paxos Consensus Algorithm
### Introduction
There are plenty of strong resources on this topic that can explain it better than I can:
1. The OG, [Paxos Made Simple](https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/lorenzo/corsi/cs380d/past/03F/notes/paxos-simple.pdf) - by Leslie Lamport
2. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paxos_(computer_science))
3. An [article](https://understandingpaxos.wordpress.com/) and corresponding [repo](https://github.com/cocagne/paxos) - by Tom Cocagne
### Usage and Examples
TODO
### Next steps
- Improve error handling
- Add `Nack` messages + handling
- Write integration tests for failure scenarios
