Understanding the Raft Consensus Algorithm: Principles, Workflow, and Comparison with Paxos

Raft is a leader-based consensus algorithm designed to be easier to understand and implement than Paxos, decomposing consensus into leader election, log replication, and safety rules; it ensures consistent, gap‑free logs, comparable performance, and simpler deployment for distributed systems.

An Overview of the Raft Distributed Consensus Algorithm

Raft is a fault‑tolerant distributed consensus protocol that simplifies Paxos by electing a single leader each term to coordinate client requests, replicate logs to a majority of servers, ensure safety through up‑to‑date voting, handle failures with randomized timeouts, resolve log conflicts, and compress logs via snapshots.
