Gossip Glomers

A series of distributed systems challenges brought to you by Fly.io.

Implementation of the challenges described in the link above using F#. I had to decide whether or not to allow types with invalid state or to use low level json parsing. For now I chose to allow types with invalid state. Once done I may try the opposite.

Setup

This repository contains a Taskfile to automate running the various tasks (you can also use the instructions in the website instead while adopting the paths for the executables).

Requirements

The following dependencies needs to be installed in order to run the challenges (note the WSL dependency if running on windows).

• Taskfile.
• Dotnet (version 6.x).
• WSL (only if running on Windows - maelstrom does not support running on Windows). If you're using Windows + WSL all dependencies below has to be installed inside the default WSL distribution.
• JDK (I'm running with 11).
• Tar with bzip2.
• wget.
• Gnuplot

Note: Follow the getting started guide for installing any other prerequisites.

Running

• Run task prepare to install build dependencies and Maelstrom.
• Run Task --list to see available tasks, run the one you want to execute.
