A Go library implementing the Raft distributed consensus protocol, providing leader election, log replication, configuration changes, and log compaction. It is explicitly unmaintained; its authors went on to build the Raft implementations used in etcd and InfluxDB.
Use cases
- implement raft consensus in a go service
- replicate a state machine across a cluster of nodes
- learn how the raft consensus algorithm works
- build a replicated database with leader election
- study a reference raft implementation in go
When to choose
- you need a simple, readable Go raft implementation for learning or research
- you are maintaining a legacy project already built on goraft
When to avoid
- you need a production-grade, actively maintained raft library (use etcd/raft or hashicorp/raft)
- you need long-term support or bug fixes
- you are starting a new distributed systems project
