@@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ A library built on top of [spindle](https://github.com/flowerinthenight/spindle)
 At the moment, **hedge** is heavily used in [Alphaus](https://www.alphaus.cloud/) production with services that scale from single digit pods to hundreds.
 
 ## Why?
-First, I wanted a cluster coordinator that can work within k8s Deployments as a library, not as an external service (like [ZooKeeper](https://zookeeper.apache.org/), [etcd](https://etcd.io/)). So far, our efforts in making [Raft](https://raft.github.io/) play well with bursty, frequently scaling up/down deployments as a library is not that reliable yet (though we have an ongoing multi-[Paxos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paxos_(computer_science))-based experiment [here](https://github.com/alphauslabs/juno) as well). I also wanted an easily-accessible storage that is a bit decoupled from the code (easier to query, edit, debug, backup, etc). We are already a heavy Spanner user, and spindle has been in our production for many years now: these two should be able to do it; StatefulSets or DaemonSets shouldn't be a requirement. Since then, additional features have been added, such as the `Send()` API.

 ## What does it do?
 Leader election is handled by [spindle](https://github.com/flowerinthenight/spindle). Two APIs are provided for storage: `Put()` and `Get()`. All pods can serve the `Get()` calls, while only the leader handles the `Put()` API. If a non-leader pod calls `Put()`, that call is forwarded to the leader, who will do the actual write. All `Put()`'s are append-only.
