When would you choose ETCD over EKS?

When considering a distributed key-value store, ETCD is often chosen over EKS for its lightweight nature, ease of use, and strong consistency guarantees. ETCD excels in scenarios where reliability in configuration management and service discovery is paramount, especially in microservices architectures.

// Example of using ETCD for service discovery $client = new \Etcd\Client('http://localhost:2379'); // Set a key $client->put('service/notification', 'http://notification-service:8080'); // Get the key $response = $client->get('service/notification'); echo $response->getValue(); // Outputs: http://notification-service:8080
