Once finished researching Paxos (#1), it only makes sense to further look at consensus protocols that it inspired such as raft.

The main goal of this thread is to research raft and create a general understanding which should later be summarized in a research post.

Questions

How does raft work?
What sets raft apart from paxos?
Where is raft used?
What are rafts strengths?
