Meerkat eliminates leader bottlenecks for Cloudflare’s global control plane
Cloudflare unveiled Meerkat, an experimental global consensus service that uses the QuePaxa algorithm to let every replica write simultaneously, eliminating leader bottlenecks and timeout‑driven outages. By removing a single point of failure, Meerkat promises higher availability for control‑plane state across Cloudflare’s 330+ data centers, marking the first industrial‑scale deployment of QuePaxa.
