/walkeeper:

WAL safekeeper. Written in Rust.

/pageserver:

Page Server. Written in Rust.

Depends on the modified 'postgres' binary for WAL redo.

/integration_tests:

Tests with different combinations of a Postgres compute node, WAL safekeeper and Page Server.

/mgmt-console:

/vendor/postgres:

PostgreSQL source tree, with the modifications needed for Zenith.

/vendor/postgres/src/bin/safekeeper:

Extension (safekeeper_proxy) that runs in the compute node, and connects to the WAL safekeepers and streams the WAL
