Maelstrom is a tool that allows users to learn about distributed systems by writing their own implementations. It utilizes the Jepsen testing library to test toy versions of these systems, providing standardized tests for various types of distributed systems. One unique feature of Maelstrom is that users can write their servers in any programming language. It also offers simulated latency and message loss for experimentation purposes. Maelstrom includes visualizations and statistics to help users understand the behavior of their systems under different conditions. It is designed to be fast and capable of handling simulated clusters with over 25 nodes. The content also includes documentation and troubleshooting information for using Maelstrom.
