Credits

Of course the biggest thanks goes to Diego Ongaro :) (the original author of the Raft dissertation).

A lot of ideas and inspiration was taken from other Raft implementations such as:

• CoreOS' Go implementation for etcd
• Hashicorp's Go raft
• Willem's C implementation
• LogCabin's C++ implementation
