A highly-available key value store for shared configuration and service discovery. etcd is inspired by zookeeper and doozer, with a focus on:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Simple: curl'able user facing API (HTTP+JSON)
|
||||||
|
* Secure: optional SSL client cert authentication
|
||||||
|
* Fast: benchmarked 1000s of writes/s per instance
|
||||||
|
* Reliable: Properly distributed using paxos
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Etcd is written in go and uses the [raft][raft] paxos implementation for high availability.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
See [go-etcd][go-etcd] for a native go client. Or feel free to just use curl, as in the examples below.
