etcd is a strongly consistent, distributed key-value store. These guides cover installing and
operating etcd, building applications against its APIs, understanding its design, measuring
performance, and upgrading or downgrading clusters in the 3.7 release line.

Start with [Quickstart](/docs/etcd/quickstart/) for a local single-member cluster, [Install](/docs/etcd/install/)
for supported installation paths, or [Operations guide](/docs/etcd/op-guide/) for production deployments.
