rft

Overview

This (partial) implementation of the RAFT consensus algorithm, that I wrote while taking the Rafting Trip course (which I highly recommend!).

Prerequisites

• Go.

Steps to run

1. Clone this repo.

2. Run up to three Raft nodes (as a follower or leader) identified by either 1, 2, or 3.

   # Start a raft server [identified by number 1] as a leader:
   go run example/server/main.go 1 leader
   

   # Start a raft server [identified by number 2] as a follower:
   go run example/server/main.go 2 follower
   

3. Connect to either node (identified by either 1, 2, or 3) using the client app.

   # Connect to a raft server [identified by number 2] with the client app:
   go run example/client/main.go 3
