I got to learn Raft when trying to finish <a href="http://nil.csail.mit.edu/6.824/2018/schedule.html">a distributed system course</a> made by MIT. It&rsquo;s overall a consensus algorithem targeting strong consistency, and it&rsquo;s designed for understandability and the ease for implementation. Recently there&rsquo;s a need to review it again and I&rsquo;m making this post so that I don&rsquo;t forget as fast in the future.</p> <h1 id="resources">Resources</h1> <ol> <li><a href="https://raft.github.io/raft.pdf">Raft paper</a></li> <li><a href="http://thesecretlivesofdata.com/raft/">A nice visualization on Raft concepts</a></li> </ol> <p>Pictures used for illustration in this post are gratefully borrowed from the resources above.</p>
