Reading the standard library will give you ideas/insight about various Go idiomatic patterns/approaches, and you can see a full website/API implementation in the pkg.go.dev repository (https://github.com/golang/pkgsite). Projects like https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd may be interesting too.

Failure Detection and Recovery It’s not enough to have backup systems. It’s also crucial to detect failures quickly. Modern systems employ monitoring tools and rely on distributed coordination systems such as Zookeeper or etcd to identify faults in real-time: once detected, recovery mechanisms are triggered to restore the service.

Service Discovery: Microservices need to discover and communicate with each other dynamically. Service discovery tools like etcd, Consul, or Kubernetes built-in service discovery mechanisms help locate and connect to microservices running on different nodes within the infrastructure.

APISIX uses etcd to store and synchronize configurations.

etcd is an excellent key-value distributed database used internally by Kubernetes and managed by the CNCF. It's a great option, and that's the reason why Apache APISIX uses it too. Yet, it's not devoid of issues.

Someone on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36682595) suggested etcd (https://etcd.io)

In traditional mode, APISIX stores its configuration in etcd. APISIX offers a rich API to access and update the configuration, the Admin API. In standalone mode, the configuration is just plain YAML. It's the approach for GitOps practitioners: you'd store your configuration in a Git repo, watch it via your favorite tool (e.g., Argo CD or Tekton), and the latter would propagate the changes to APISIX nodes upon changes. APISIX reloads its configuration every second or so.

I am not sure neither. But this might overcome the etcd's soft storage limit of 8GB? [1]
