Source materials and pre-built PDFs for Diego Ongaro's 2014 Stanford PhD dissertation 'Consensus: Bridging Theory and Practice', the definitive reference on the Raft consensus algorithm. It includes LaTeX sources, figures, and errata, buildable with make, pdflatex, bibtex, and Inkscape.

Use cases

• learn how the raft consensus algorithm works
• read the original raft dissertation
• cite raft in a distributed systems paper
• reformat raft dissertation sections for other documents
• study cluster membership change algorithms
• find errata and updates to the raft specification

When to choose

• you want the authoritative, in-depth explanation of Raft from its creator
• you need citable source material on consensus algorithm design
• you want to reuse or reformat dissertation content under CC-BY

When to avoid

• you need a runnable Raft implementation or library
• you want a short tutorial rather than a full dissertation
• you need actively maintained protocol documentation
