In a recent Radar piece, I explored N-sided marketplaces and the middlemen who bring disparate parties together. One such marketplace is the world of advertising, in which middlemen pair hopeful advertisers with consumer eyeballs. And this market for attention is absolutely huge, with global ad spend weighing in at $763 billion in 2021 revenues.

Peer-to-peer systems treat each cluster node as equal; there is no strict leader. This means there is no explicit leader election process as happens in the Leader and Followers pattern. However, there still needs to be one cluster node acting as cluster coordinator for tasks such as assigning data partitions to other cluster nodes and tracking when new cluster nodes join or fail and take corrective actions.
