Ever wondered how the modern distributed data stores like CockroachDB, YugabyteDB, TiDB, Kudu, etc., kept data in-sync across the different nodes in the cluster ??? They all use one thing in common – the Raft Consensus Alogrithm to maintain consistency among the nodes in the cluster.
In this article, we unravel the inner workings of Raft by implementing our own version of the algorithm in Go programming language.
