Raft (computer science)

Raft is a way of keeping groups of computers (called nodes) in sync. It works by picking a "leader" node and then having that leader send out commands to the other nodes to tell them what to do. All the other nodes then make sure they're doing the same thing that the leader node is doing. This can help keep the network of computers in sync, so that they all have the same information and work together.
