Thanks for the reply. Summary: Here's this really cool thing we're doing! Oh, are you wrote something exotic for it? Nope, just regular Erlang goodness that's been around 20 years.…

(Disclaimer: Newbie checking but still curious). Are you using libluster or Distributed Erlang to reach the clusters? Or just simple networking over the Fly network. > That will fi…
