A BSD-licensed C implementation of the Raft consensus protocol, distributed as a single amalgamated header file with no dependencies. Networking is left to the implementor, making it embeddable in any transport or application.
Use cases
- implement a replicated state machine in C
- add leader election and log replication to a distributed service
- embed Raft consensus in an existing server or database
- build a fault-tolerant key-value store
- study or test Raft invariants on unreliable networks
When to choose
- you need consensus in a C or C++ project without pulling heavy dependencies
- you want full control over the network transport layer
- you prefer a single-header library you can vendor into your build
When to avoid
- you need batteries-included networking and RPC out of the box
- you want a maintained, actively developed implementation
- you need Raft bindings for a higher-level language
