Mastering the Raft Consensus Algorithm: A Comprehensive Tutorial in Distributed Systems

Sail into the world of distributed systems with our in-depth, Raft consensus algorithm tutorial. ⛵️ This tutorial comes from the course, Reliable Webservers with Golang, by industry experts Nat Welch (Time by Ping SRE) and Steve McCarthy (Esty SSE).

In this tutorial, we dive into Raft, a modern, easy-to-understand consensus algorithm that ensures consistency across members of a distributed system. Learn:

⚡️ The importance of consensus algorithms in the field of distributed systems
⚡️ How consensus is reached amongst members of a distributed system
⚡️ How Raft handles incoming client requests
⚡️ The process of leader election and log replication in RAFT
