Heidi explains the implementation of consensus algorithms like Paxos and Raft, which ensure that a leader is up to date with the majority of servers.

Kyle asks about the potential delays during the election process, and Heidi explains that consensus is typically used for configuring distributed systems rather than interfering with user experience.In this clip
