# Production recommendation

The minimum recommended etcd versions to run in **production** are v3.4.8+ and v3.5.4+. Refer to the [versioning policy](https://etcd.io/docs/v3.5/op-guide/versioning/) for more details.

### v3.5 data corruption issue 

Running etcd v3.5.2, v3.5.1 and v3.5.0 under high load can cause a data corruption issue.
If etcd process is killed, occasionally some committed transactions are not reflected on all the members.
Recommendation is to upgrade to v3.5.4+.

If you have encountered data corruption, please follow instructions on https://etcd.io/docs/v3.5/op-guide/data_corruption/.
