Understanding the Byzantine Generals Problem and the Raft Consensus Algorithm
This article explains the Byzantine Generals problem, its fault‑tolerance limits, and how the Raft consensus algorithm solves a simplified version of the problem through leader election, log replication, and safety mechanisms, while also comparing Raft with Paxos, ZAB, and PBFT and providing Go code examples.
