Raft Consensus Algorithm
Following adds this technology to your private workspace so related learning is easier to organise and revisit.
What is Raft Consensus Algorithm?
Raft is a consensus algorithm that lets a cluster maintain one replicated log despite node failures and network disruption. This profile connects the concept to KBY's practical engineering guidance.
A leader accepts changes and replicates ordered log entries to followers, while terms and majority voting govern elections and commitment. Raft makes consensus easier to understand than many alternatives, but membership changes, persistence and application state machines still require careful implementation.
Keep distributed replicas in agreement on an ordered sequence of changes.
