Sunlight and static-ct-api are a breath of fresh air in the CT log space. Traditional CT log implementations were built on databases (because that's the easiest way to implement the old API) and were over-complicated due to a misplaced desire for high write availability. This made operating a CT log difficult and expensive (some operators were spending upwards of $100k/year). Consequentially, there have been a rash of CT log failures and few organizations willing to run logs. I'm extremely excited by how Sunlight and static-ct-api are changing this.
I wonder if this is the solution something like SponsorBlock is looking for[1][2]. They have a similar-ish problem. How to replicate crowdsourced data that trickles in slowly, but ideally you want replicated quickly.
WAL replication, rsync, bittorrent, etc all things that don't quite work as needed.
