Feature: Syncing Multiple Files/Folders with ADC for Configuration Efficiency
Description
Hey team,
I'm wondering if the ADC has the capability to sync multiple files or support syncing an entire folder. The reason behind this query is that, let's say, currently creating 20 routes and 20 consumers with Prometheus and other plugins enabled works well by adding configurations to a single file. However, if we scale this to over 100 routes, using a single file might not be the most efficient approach. Additionally, modifying values across thousands of lines can be quite challenging. Is there a method where we can create multiple files and have the ADC sync the entire folder?
This is achievable but not a high priority on my side 😅
One direction is to work with APISIX's label attribute so we can split one monolith configuration into several chunks.
Hi @223311, thank you for reaching out! Recently, I have discussed this with the team, and we will schedule a time to support this feature. I don't have a confirmed date, but it's on plan already.
By the way, if you are interested in sharing your use cases (not only this one), we can have a call :) Kindly propose a few slots (I'm in SGT) or find a slot at https://api7.ai/contact.
The feature would be a great help for maintaining large configuration in git repository.
Hi @223311 and @rstraszewski, this feature is supported in API7 Enterprise right now, we may support this as well for APISIX soon :)
Hi @juzhiyuan , Is there any update to support this feature in APISIX? I really appreciate any help you can provide.
ADC has been completely rewritten and now it supports this feature. Please take a look and let us know what's missing.
Hi @pavankumar-siripurapu, @bzp2010 has refactored the ADC implementation and once released, you can enjoy this feature :)
The New ADC has indeed been released and the feature has been implemented, so the issue is closed.
