Raft Distributed Consensus

Simple implementation of Raft Consensus Algorithm using Python for fault-tolerant distributed systems. Supports proper leader election and log replication.

Note:

• Only supports Python 3
• This implementation is specific to the bank ledger example. Feel free to modify the source code to fit your use

Requirements installation

pip install -r requirements.txt

Bank ledger example

• Run 5 servers from bank_teller

  • ./run_server <server_port>

• If python3 is not found, change the run_server.sh to use python instead

• Run bank client connecting to a specific server

  • python client.py <server_port>
