> Honest-to-goodness real-life implementations of Paxos can be found at the heart of … Google’s magnificent Spanner database…

I'm not sure about Spanner and Paxos. Sebastian Kanthak said during his Google Spanner talk:

"If you've been to the Raft talk this morning, our Paxos implementation is actually closer to the Raft algorithm than to what you'd read in the Paxos paper, which is… if you haven't read it, don't read it, it's horrible." (at 7:43)
