Ask HN: Is distributed systems research slowing down?
4 by civicsquid | 0 comments on Hacker News.
In the very late 1990s to the early 2010s, it seemed like the volume of distributed systems research was enormous. If I search for papers during that period, I see everything from theoretical stuff like Chord to industry results like Google BigTable/Spanner and Facebook Cassandra/TAO, and of course people trying to figure out how to implement Paxos properly. Figuring out how to build systems to support web scale and mobile was both necessary and cool. Now, I don't hear about distributed systems as a 'frontier' to be explored so much as an implementation detail. It feels like there isn't as much innovation, but maybe that's because I'm not looking in the right places / in the right circles. I imagine distributed systems would be extremely relevant given the focus on AI and distributed consensus (crypto). Could anyone better read than myself point to the 'hot' distributed systems work that is going on to support AI / distributed consensus today? Perhaps I just need better keywords.
