I think there is more talk on HN about Raft. It ended up in some new visible open source projects etcd, RethinkDB. Any major companies the size of Amazon or Google running on raft?

As for Paxos I think Amazon, Google (Spanner), Microsoft? have all implemented Paxos based systems are built and in production for a while. Basho has made it part of their Riak database etc.

I mean, sure if popular is just number of times it appeared on HN recently, yes, raft wins hands down. But otherwise, I think Paxos still seems like the workhorse of distributed consensus.
