I am working on setting up Node-RED on Kubernetes. On Kubernetes, number of instance of Node-RED can easily be scaled. I would like to know of use cases that a Node-RED user can do using multiple Node-RED instances?

I seem to remember that a few people have done scaling with Node-RED so you might be able to dig something out of the forum with some searching.

Node-RED runs on node.js so you can also find information on scaling node.js services. Since NR is very good at communicating, you have plenty of ways to keep data synchronised between your instances.
