Dear,
Please add clustering bu default, it was done in the past but the repos aren't updated.
Repos: "namgk/dnr-editor" and "namgk/node-red-contrib-dnr"
This would be a great for even firms to adopt and use this technologie

Can you expand on this? What exactly do you interpret clustering to mean? What behaviours would you want to see?

# node-red-contrib-dnr
This node package helps connect a Node RED instance to a cluster of Node RED instances that belong to a Distributed Node RED (DNR) flow.
Link: [GitHub - namgk/node-red-contrib-dnr: special node-red node used in Distrbuted Node-RED](https://github.com/namgk/node-red-contrib-dnr)
Distributed flow editor
[GitHub - namgk/dnr-editor: Distributed Data-Flow Coordination Platform Based on Node-RED](https://github.com/namgk/dnr-editor))
for example,
the dnr-editor is the master or editor of the cluster,
node-red-contrib-dnr are the workers for distributed processing of messages with ha, you can create in 1 UI the flow and it wil distribute to all members, you can select rules or create rules how messages are sent 1 to 1 / 1 to N / N to 1, and what wich process object is vs vested on 1 or multiple nodes, when 1 node fails, 1 or more nodes can take over the variable/processing power of the node that disapeard of the cluster
for more information see the ols archived github libs, i used it in the past but it is not compatible with node-red 2.X
the only thing that i would like to add is that when the master is offline you the distrebuted flow editor is moved to a different node or that it is accessible on all nodes.

i used it to monitor files and ftp sites via IOT raspberry pi nodes, but copy/paste every change to 20+ nodes isn't fun to do,
it sand system data and automation to nodes/dashboard
