Introduction

Etcd Sharding Proxy is a lightweight solution to scale etcd cluster by sharding. It is designed to be compatible with etcd client and easy to deploy.

The Etcd Sharding Proxy Serves to clients as an etcd endpoint. It proxies requests to the correct shard etcd cluster based on the key.

Road Map

• Support KV APIs
• Support Watch APIs
• Support Lease APIs
• Support Auth APIs
• Support Maintenance APIs
• Support TLS
• Basic Metrics
• Performance Test & Tuning for large scale cluster

Compatibility

Revision, MemberId, ClusterId of each shard is used. Hence:

• Field revision in Range / RangeDelete requests across different shards will not work.
• Txn cannot be executed across multiple shards. NOTE: The proxy will not do check for this. If you use Txn across multiple shards, the result is undefined.
• Compact is not supported
• All Cluster APIs are not supported

Quick Start with Docker

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/sharding-db/etcd-sharding-proxy.git

# start backend etcd
docker run --name etcd-0 -d --rm -p 12379:2379 gcr.io/etcd-development/etcd:v3.5.7 etcd --listen-client-urls http://0.0.0.0:2379 -advertise-client-urls=http://0.0.0.0:2379
docker run --name etcd-1 -d --rm -p 22379:2379 gcr.io/etcd-development/etcd:v3.5.7 etcd --listen-client-urls http://0.0.0.0:2379 -advertise-client-urls=http://0.0.0.0:2379
docker run --name etcd-2 -d --rm -p 32379:2379 gcr.io/etcd-development/etcd:v3.5.7 etcd --listen-client-urls http://0.0.0.0:2379 -advertise-client-urls=http://0.0.0.0:2379

# start proxy
go run ./cmd/proxy -config ./examples/config.yaml
