performance issues with the number of ETCD connections

[chenws1012]

看到博客里有提到 Apache APISIX 的每个 worker 都会跟 ETCD 连接，每一个监听目录都会去建一个连接。
这个官方后续会优化吗？

Yes, we'll continue to optimize it. BTW, do you have some good ideas to optimize it?

[tzssangglass]

yes, we have been trying to optimise this. The options I know of so far are

• 1 subscribe only to the /apisix prefix and differentiate the directories within apisix
• 2 add an etcd proxy between APISIX and etcd so that there is only 1 request to etcd

we have community meetings, would you like to talk about this?
