etcd is a wonderful piece of infrastructure Kubernetes makes use of, however there is perhaps higher selections in some contexts. Worse, it’d change into a safety risk sooner or later – or is already one, due to the shortage of upkeep. With the ability to transfer away from etcd is a substantial profit.
kine presents an etcd-compatible facade and a number of implementations. Utilizing kine with Apache APISIX requires some adaptation effort, already accomplished in ETCD-Adapter.
At present, ETCD-Adapter will not be feature-complete (to say the least) and requires extra love. That’s why it was not donated to the Apache Basis but. If you happen to’re a Go developer and have an interest within the mission, be happy to subscribe to the Apache APISIX mailing listing and/or be a part of our Slack to supply your assist.
