The Secret Lives of Data is an educational visualization project about how data systems work internally. It aims to explain databases, servers, consensus protocols, and distributed systems through interactive visual experiences. The flagship visualization teaches the Raft distributed consensus algorithm in a more approachable way than a traditional paper or static diagram. The project is built as a web experience with JavaScript, CSS, and static assets. It invites people to suggest new systems that could be explained through similar visualizations. It is useful for engineers, students, and technical readers who want to understand reliability and data flow concepts without starting from dense theory.
