Raft's Basics and High-Level Workflow
Explore the basic components and high-level workflow of the Raft consensus algorithm. Understand the different server roles, election processes, term management, and communication via RPCs. Learn how Raft maintains consistency and handles failures of leaders, candidates, and followers in distributed systems.
