Cluster support and request routing to correct node (session affinity)

[evelzi]

Support for clustering?

Hi! I’m wondering if there’s any support (or a recommended pattern) for clustering. Specifically:

Is there a way to implement a cluster such that the API can always route requests to the specific node that has the corresponding Chrome instance running?

It’s possible this feature already exists—just wanted to check what the best approach is for scaling horizontally across multiple machines while maintaining session affinity.

Thanks!

Hey @evelzi , there is no one specific way to do this but we've seen other people do this with Kuberentes and a custom controller or proxy API that routes requests to the appropriate nodes for example. It really depends on the requirements of the specific task. :)

We have our own very custom implementation for Steel Cloud; but happy to hear some thoughts from the community on what they would like to see; maybe we could write up some sort of guide ... or someone could contribute a general implementation.
