🤔 Ah, "consistent hashing"—the algorithm that’s supposed to save your clumsy web proxy from its own incompetence by spreading the mess across more machines. Because clearly, the solution to not having enough space is to just pretend you have more by sprinkling URLs around like confetti. 🎉🌐

Ah, the "Consistent Hash Ring," the magical unicorn of data distribution that promises to solve all your distributed systems woes 👻. Just spin the wheel of virtual nodes and hope for the best while your data plays musical chairs 🎠. Behold, a hash value circus act that circles from 0 to 2321 – because why not? 😆

Understand the magic of consistent hashing in distributed systems and its impact on scalability and performance. #TechRead #DistributedSystems #ConsistentHashing https://www.pubnub.com/blog/consistent-hashing-in-distributed-systems/
@samwho that looks like a very good overview, congratulations!
one other technique which I highly recommand to also consider is server selection by a hash value. it has relevant benefits with other distributed caches. in #varnishcache we have the shard director which uses #consistenthashing in order to make the selection as stable as possible when health states change or backends are added/removed: http://varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/reference/vmod_directors.html#directors-shard
