Where it stands
Rank, growth pace and release cadence relative to everything GStars tracks.
Ranks #1 among Database repositories ranked this week, and #3 over the last 30 days; #106 of 163 repositories with measured growth this week (top 65%).
This week's +287 stars is ahead of its 30-day pace of about +81 per week.
5 releases in the last 90 days, the latest 19 days ago, with 374 contributors on GitHub.
Peaked at #33 in the weekly ranking the week of Dec 28, its best in the past year.
Use Cases & Benefits
- Provides a distributed reliable key-value store designed for critical data in distributed systems using the Raft consensus algorithm.
- Ensures high availability and strong consistency with automatic TLS security and a simple gRPC API for easy integration.
- Use for managing configuration data and service discovery in Kubernetes clusters and other container orchestration platforms.
- Use for building fault-tolerant distributed applications that require consistent state replication across multiple nodes.
- Use for implementing distributed locking and leader election mechanisms in microservices architectures.

From the README
Note: The
mainbranch may be in an unstable or even broken state during development. For stable versions, see releases.etcd is a distributed reliable key-value store for the most critical data of a distributed system, with a focus on being:
etcd is written in Go and uses the Raft consensus algorithm to manage a highly-available replicated log.
etcd is used in production by many companies, and the development team stands behind it in critical deployment scenarios, where etcd is frequently teamed with applications such as Kubernetes, locksmith, vulcand, Doorman, and many others. Reliability is further ensured by rigorous robustness testing.
See etcdctl for a simple command line client.
