Although it's well-known, it's also notoriously difficult to understand, indeed we had considerable difficulty getting our heads around it.

Cash flow is a major pain point for small businesses in Africa. Long payment cycles, which can take 30-90 days after services or products have been rendered, and little or no capital, of which research says 85% of African small and medium businesses are subject to, are the main culprits of cash flow issues. Many startups are solving these problems for African SMBs in one form or another, and the demand for their services has seen Ghanaian startup Float pick up a significant round of funding.

One of the core challenges in a distributed system is keeping the state synchronized across all the nodes, especially when neither the nodes, or the connections between them, are reliable. The core approach to handle with is a replicated log : using the write-ahead log pattern over the cluster. Unmesh Joshi shows how this works using its most common implementation: the Raft protocol.
