We thought a lot about this, and decided to not wait since we are a pretty small team and having more hands helping us to catch any problems early on would help us to make better technical decisions as we continue evolving the core platform. In addition to that, we gained a pretty robust CI step to keep us accountable around the guarantees that we want to provide. Reliably and consistently storing data is of utmost importance for us.

The plan is to engage with Jepsen again once we have a system that passes the current suite, expand the test surface even further, and continue iterating until we are satisfied with the results. There won't be a public release before that is true.

Working with Jepsen also sparked a couple other interesting ideas, like building a Python language fuzzer to ensure that many shapes of Python programs work as intended in Capela. That's something we would love to do in the future.

Re: Antithesis - absolutely. Kyle mentioned them to us and we think it will be a very interesting product for us to adopt to further ensure we're delivering a reliable product.
