| | Distributed systems can be difficult to understand, mainly because the knowledge surrounding them is distributed. But don't worry, I'm well aware of the irony. While teaching myself distributed computing, I fell flat on my face many times. Now, after many trials and tribulations...

In this post, we'll learn how the Raft consensus algorithm solves this problem.
