#2OK, but I would rather see a service than just an API. Merely API is not enough for building things.

This project exposes a HTTP interface that proxies stuff to an underlying boltdb instance. Host it yourself and it's suddenly a service. Or am I misunderstanding your point?

Oh, so the project is a service, after all. OP should have described it as so.

#5How does this differ from Consul?

#6Is there no configurable security options available? Can't find any in the readme file.
Edit: Looking in the code I can not find any auth options. I think at least a simple authentication username / password should exist. I guess I can proxy it from haproxy or another web host. (Im not talking about putting it on the internet here, just on the local network).

even if you pursue some notional distinction, it's unclear how an api can be made manifest without (being?) a service. what do you mean?

#8etcd uses boltdb, has both HTTP+JSON and gRPC endpoints, and is replicated using RAFT. Why would I use this instead?

The whole Oracle v Google case ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_America,_Inc._v._Google.... ) is about an API (distinct from executable code).
