What is Raft?

Raft is a consensus algorithm designed as an alternative to Paxos. It is easier to understand than Paxos, while being equivalent in fault-tolerance and performance. Raft achieves consensus through a designated leader, who is responsible for log replication to other servers in the system. It's commonly used in distributed systems for tasks such as leader election, configuration management, and consistent data replication.
