Stand-alone mode

Turning on the APISIX node in Stand-alone mode will no longer use the default etcd as the configuration center.

This method is more suitable for two types of users:

1. kubernetes(k8s)：Declarative API that dynamically updates the routing rules with a full yaml configuration.
2. Different configuration centers: There are many implementations of the configuration center, such as Consul, etc., using the full yaml file for intermediate conversion.

The routing rules in the conf/apisix.yaml file are loaded into memory immediately after the APISIX node service starts. And every time interval (default 1 second), will try to detect whether the file content is updated, if there is an update, reload the rule.

Note: When reloading and updating routing rules, they are all hot memory updates, and there will be no replacement of working processes, it is a hot update.

Since the current Admin API is based on the etcd configuration center solution, enable Admin API is not allowed when the Stand-alone mode is enabled.

To enable Stand-alone mode, we can set apisix.config_center to yaml and disable Admin API in file conf/config.yaml.

Refer to the example below:

apisix:  enable_admin: false  config_center: yaml

How to configure rules

All of the rules are stored in one file which named conf/apisix.yaml, the APISIX will check if this file has any changed every second. If the file changed and we found #END at the end of the file, APISIX will load the rules in this file and update to memory of APISIX.

Here is a mini example:

routes:  -    uri: /hello    upstream:        nodes:            "127.0.0.1:1980": 1        type: roundrobin#END

NOTE: APISIX will not load the rules into memory from file conf/apisix.yaml if there is no #END at the end.

How to configure Router

Single Router：

routes:  -    uri: /hello    upstream:        nodes:            "127.0.0.1:1980": 1        type: roundrobin#END

Multiple Router：

routes:  -    uri: /hello    upstream:        nodes:            "127.0.0.1:1980": 1        type: roundrobin  -    uri: /hello2    upstream:        nodes:            "127.0.0.1:1981": 1        type: roundrobin#END

How to configure Router + Service
