[00:00:00]There is no central brain in a 10,000 node cluster. Standard leader-based systems have a single point of failure.

[00:00:06]The more nodes you add, the more the leader chokes. Gossip algorithms mimic biology to solve the scale problem.

[00:00:13]Every node talks to three random neighbors. They swap health data. They share state. The information spreads exponentially through the network. In seconds, every node knows everything.

[00:00:24]Decentralized, self-healing. One node dies. The cluster doesn't blink. It's a rumor that everyone hears at once.
