NuRaft is a C++ implementation of the Raft consensus algorithm packaged as a replication library. It extends the original Raft paper with production features like pre-vote, priority-based leader election, learners, async replication, and SSL/TLS support.

Use cases

• build a replicated state machine in C++
• add fault-tolerant consensus to a distributed key-value store
• implement leader election across a cluster
• replicate logs reliably between servers
• create a highly available configuration store

When to choose

• you need Raft consensus embedded in a C++ application
• you want production-hardened extensions like pre-vote and priority election
• you need cross-platform support including Windows
• you want a permissive Apache-2.0 licensed consensus library

When to avoid

• you need a full turnkey distributed database rather than a library
• your stack is not C++
• you need a consensus protocol other than Raft
• you require Windows SSL support, which is not available
