A Go library implementing the Raft consensus protocol for managing a replicated log and replicated state machines. It enables building consistent, partition-tolerant (CP) distributed systems with fault tolerance.
Use cases
- build a replicated state machine in Go
- implement leader election and consensus in a distributed system
- create a distributed key-value store
- replicate application state across a cluster
- build a CP system with fault tolerance
When to choose
- you need battle-tested Raft consensus in a Go application
- you are building a distributed system requiring a replicated log
- you want a library used in production systems like Consul
When to avoid
- you need a ready-made distributed database rather than a consensus library
- your project is not written in Go
- you need a consensus protocol other than Raft
