Byzantine Fault Tolerance vs Raft
Developers should learn BFT when designing distributed systems, such as blockchain networks, financial platforms, or critical infrastructure, where trust among nodes cannot be assumed and resilience to malicious attacks is essential meets developers should learn raft when building or working with distributed systems that require strong consistency, such as distributed databases (e.

Byzantine Fault Tolerance
Nice PickDevelopers should learn BFT when designing distributed systems, such as blockchain networks, financial platforms, or critical infrastructure, where trust among nodes cannot be assumed and resilience to malicious attacks is essential
Pros
- +It is particularly important in decentralized applications, where achieving consensus without a central authority requires protocols that can tolerate arbitrary failures, ensuring data consistency and system availability even under Byzantine conditions
- +Related to: distributed-systems, consensus-algorithms
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Raft

The Verdict
Use Byzantine Fault Tolerance if: You want it is particularly important in decentralized applications, where achieving consensus without a central authority requires protocols that can tolerate arbitrary failures, ensuring data consistency and system availability even under byzantine conditions and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Raft if: You prioritize g over what Byzantine Fault Tolerance offers.
