It was a lot of fun watching the project and community evolve. I think you and the team did an excellent job. I remember a huge spike in users around when discovery.etcd.io launched. It was really a game changer for us building large-scale multi-data center telecom systems. I still remember bootstrapping the first cluster in a 24 data center test and having things blow up, particularly in higher-latency environments (cross-DC)

Fast-forward 4 months, the project had grown and scaled to support the influx of new curious devs and use-cases that stretched the bounds of what was possible at the time. At the end of the 4-months, we had a 128 node cluster that stayed up for years and still powers all of the emergency notifications in a few states in the US!




Woah! I would love to get this testimonial in our production users doc!
