System Overview - Gossip protocol

The Gossip protocol is a method used in distributed systems to spread information quickly and reliably among many nodes. Each node randomly shares updates with a few other nodes, which then continue spreading the information, similar to how gossip spreads in social groups. This approach ensures scalability, fault tolerance, and eventual consistency.
