Here's our take.

Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance

Nice Pick

Developers should learn PBFT when building or working with high-assurance distributed systems, such as permissioned blockchains (e

Pros

• g
• Related to: distributed-systems, consensus-algorithms

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Raft

Pros

• g
• Related to: distributed-systems, consensus-algorithms

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Raft if: You prioritize g over what Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance offers.

The Bottom Line

Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance wins

Developers should learn PBFT when building or working with high-assurance distributed systems, such as permissioned blockchains (e
