For kubernetes unless you’re past a couple of million keys it’s unlikely etcd is the issue, and other things would fall over first. However, if you’re at those levels it might be worth it to use something else.

I’m not sure foundation would be able to do the full consistent list required in the current model though (someone above mentioned full consistent table scans being not possible in FDB). In etcd and cockroach you can leverage MVCC and get a consistent scan over older history. But if FDB has that it’s pretty close (I looked into this before FDB was acquired the first time).

Edit: unlikely = in practice I haven’t seen anything except large range lock contention (which is why we added chunking to the api)

If you’re referring to my comment, by “not possible”, I meant “subject to the 5s transaction duration limit.” etcd and ZK could be implemented on top of FDB.
