SOFAJRaft is a production-grade, high-performance Java implementation of the RAFT consensus algorithm, ported from Baidu's braft. It supports multi-raft-group deployment for high-load, low-latency scenarios and includes an embedded distributed KV storage implementation.

Use cases

• build a replicated state machine in Java
• implement a fault-tolerant distributed key-value store
• add leader election and log replication to a distributed system
• achieve linearizable reads with ReadIndex or lease-based reads
• run multiple raft groups for high-throughput sharded storage
• verify cluster consistency under network partitions

When to choose

• you need a battle-tested, Jepsen-verified RAFT implementation on the JVM
• you want snapshotting, log compaction, and membership changes out of the box
• you need multi-raft-group support for high-load, low-latency workloads
• you prefer a pure Java library with Maven Central availability

When to avoid

• you need a C++ or non-JVM RAFT implementation
• you only need a simple single-node storage solution without replication
• your project requires a language other than Java or JVM compatibility
