rawkv VS etcd

For example in a distributed database like this, each node of the database has to start one server listening to a port to serve database users’ requests to CRUD data, and start another server on a different port to serve data replication requests between nodes. And you want only one main function for the code running on each node, so using a goroutine like what you shared makes perfect sense.

Would like to share this project I wrote some time ago when I first time learned Go. It familiarizes me with core features of Go and makes me love the language even more. I strived to make the code well structured and documented so that it can benefit more people who are interested in Go (or databases). Any suggestions/advices are warmly welcomed!

sudo dnf -y install curl wget vim ETCD_RELEASE=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/etcd-io/etcd/releases/latest|grep tag_name | cut -d '"' -f 4) echo $ETCD_RELEASE wget https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/releases/download/${ETCD_RELEASE}/etcd-${ETCD_RELEASE}-linux-amd64.tar.gz tar xvf etcd-${ETCD_RELEASE}-linux-amd64.tar.gz cd etcd-${ETCD_RELEASE}-linux-amd64 sudo mv etcd* /usr/local/bin ls /usr/local/bin /usr/local/bin/etcd --version

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]
