Merkle Tree Sync Visualizer

Compare two replicas with Merkle trees. Differing leaf hashes bubble up so sync only descends into changed subtrees.

Merkle Tree Sync

Compare two replica trees block-by-block. Differing hashes bubble up so you only transfer mismatched leaves.

Replica A
Replica B
    Like Dynamo / Cassandra anti-entropy: walk only branches whose hash differs, then sync the dirty leaves.
    Why Merkle trees
    Instead of comparing every key, compare root hashes, then only recurse into mismatched children — efficient anti-entropy for Dynamo-style systems.
