Democratic Counter

A distributed system demonstrating leader election using the Bully Algorithm.

How It Works

The Bully Algorithm

• Each node has a unique ID (1, 2, 3)
• When election starts, nodes "bully" others with lower IDs
• Highest ID node becomes the leader
• Leader manages the shared counter

Nodes

• Node 1: http://localhost:8001
• Node 2: http://localhost:8002
• Node 3: http://localhost:8003

API Endpoints

• GET /ping - Health check
• GET /status - Node status (ID, leader, state)
• POST /election - Trigger election
• POST /victory - Announce new leader
