+## Multiple Replica Setup
+
+Fortuna supports running multiple replica instances for high availability and reliability. This prevents service interruption if one instance goes down and distributes the workload across multiple instances.
+
+### How Replica Assignment Works
+
+- Each replica is assigned a unique `replica_id` (0, 1, 2, etc.)
+- Requests are distributed using modulo assignment: `sequence_number % total_replicas`
+- Each replica primarily handles requests assigned to its ID
+- After a configurable delay, replicas will process requests from other replicas as backup (failover)
+
+### Example Configurations
+
+**Two Replica Setup (Blue/Green):**
+```yaml
+# Replica 0 (Blue) - handles even sequence numbers (0, 2, 4, ...)
+keeper:
+  replica_config:
+    replica_id: 0
+    total_replicas: 2
+    backup_delay_seconds: 30
+
+# Replica 1 (Green) - handles odd sequence numbers (1, 3, 5, ...)
+keeper:
+  replica_config:
+    replica_id: 1
+    total_replicas: 2
+    backup_delay_seconds: 30
+```
+
+**Three Replica Setup:**
+```yaml
+# Replica 0 - handles sequence numbers 0, 3, 6, 9, ...
+keeper:
+  replica_config:
+    replica_id: 0
+    total_replicas: 3
+    backup_delay_seconds: 30
+```
+
+### Deployment Considerations
+
+1. **Separate Wallets**: Each replica MUST use a different private key to avoid nonce conflicts
+2. **Backup Delay**: Set `backup_delay_seconds` long enough to allow primary replica to process requests, but short enough for acceptable failover time (recommended: 30-60 seconds)
+3. **Monitoring**: Monitor each replica's processing metrics to ensure proper load distribution
+4. **Gas Management**: Each replica needs sufficient ETH balance for gas fees
+
+### Failover Behavior
+
+- Primary replica processes requests immediately
+- Backup replicas wait for `backup_delay_seconds` before checking if request is still unfulfilled
+- If request is already fulfilled during the delay, backup replica skips processing
+- This prevents duplicate transactions and wasted gas while ensuring reliability
+
 ## Local Development
 
 To start an instance of the webserver for local testing, you first need to perform a few setup steps:
