To deal with the large scale of Sneakers23’s online operation, we’ll need to run multiple servers simultaneously. Running multiple servers can be difficult when in-memory data structures are used because updates are not automatically sent across the cluster. However, the scalability is undoubtedly worth it. We have already discussed how Phoenix deals with this by broadcasting messages to all connected nodes, and we’ll use a similar ...
