Overview
Imagine a slow winding river of network programming. At its mouth near the sea, you see families splashing in the waves enjoying their web scraper bots. As you work your way up the river, you see people working on various sorts of HTTP server farms. Continuing still further, you perhaps you’ll encounter some message queues, remote procedure calls, and distributed objects. However, if you keep on going past the last bridge over the river, you’ll eventually start to see disturbing, if not unnatural, acts of coding involving sockets, threads, async, and other low-level systems programming primitives. Echo servers shriek at each other as the river narrows and the banks close in with complexities everywhere. You come across the abandoned wreckage of the USS VibeGPT. As you squint and look ahead, the river vanishes into the forest. The shells of abandoned GitHub projects line the shores. You recognize a torn conference T-shirt and a muddy sneaker worn by some pair programmers you once knew in the office. “The horror. The horror.” That’s precisely the location where you will be dropped to start this week-long journey of attempting to implement the Raft Distributed Consensus algorithm from scratch. And likely failing.
The problem of Distributed Consensus relates to the challenge of making a group of machines operate as a collective whole that can survive the failure of one or more of its members. This behavior is a critical part of building reliable fault-tolerant systems. Raft is an algorithm that achieves just that. The goal is a modest one–implement Raft from scratch using nothing more than basic system programming libraries and your wits. It will not be an easy task. It may be the hardest small bit of systems code you’ll ever have to write, “test”, and debug. However, you will learn a lot in the process. Are you up to the challenge?
Why?
Implementing Raft is a legitimately hard problem that will test all of your skills as a programmer. Although the stated objective is to implement Raft, the actual goal of this course is to figure out an overall strategy for implementing Raft. How can a complex problem be broken down into manageable parts? How do the parts interact with each other? What do you work on first? How are you going to test it? In short, stretching yourself on this problem will make you a stronger programmer and a better system designer.
