A free course outline by Kyle Kingsbury (Jepsen) for a 16-32 hour introduction to distributed systems fundamentals. It covers core concepts like time, ordering, faults, safety, and liveness, plus algorithm classes and production concerns.

Use cases

  • learn distributed systems fundamentals
  • prepare for designing distributed systems
  • find a shared vocabulary for consistency and fault tolerance
  • study distributed systems algorithms before reading papers
  • train backend engineers on distributed systems concepts

When to choose

  • you want a practitioner-oriented overview of distributed systems theory and practice
  • you need a structured curriculum to self-study distributed systems
  • you want free, expert-authored lecture materials from the Jepsen author

When to avoid

  • you need hands-on labs only - pair it with the Maelstrom labs
  • you want a textbook with full proofs rather than an outline
  • you need a software tool or library rather than educational material
