Raft Consensus Complete Guide 2025: Leader Election, Log Replication, Safety, etcd/Consul in Practice
etcd, Consul, CockroachDB, and TiDB all use Raft because it is understandable. Leader Election, Log Replication, Safety Properties, Membership Change, and Snapshots — a deep dive with real-world system analysis.

Why is it hard for a distributed system to merely "agree"? The shock of the FLP impossibility result, Lamport's Paxos and its infamous unintelligibility, how Raft changed the landscape, ZooKeeper's ZAB, the birth of KRaf
