This is an implementation of the Raft Consensus Algorithm. It relies on a simplified functional actor system (assembled by me with inspiration from a couple of places) built on top of fs2 queues and cats-effects.

The purpose behind this was to learn more/exercise my knowledge about cats-effects and concurrency while having fun.

Since this is a toy project and I started working in the funnier segment, let's do some planning to ensure its completion in a, hopefully, close future.

Raft Consensus Algorithm:

• Leader Election.
• Log replication.
• Dynamic cluster members changes.

Software Engineering:

• Functional actors using concurrency primitives.
• Logging.
• Add a code formatter tool. (Scalafmt FTW.)
• Add CI integration. (Travis FTW.)
• Testing. (Damn it!: I was too excited about getting a MVP.)
• Benchmarking against an implementation using akka actors. (Because why not?)

Knowledge sharing:

• Write a blog post. (This is the hardest part. I'm super-lazy for writing.)
