horizontal scaling

Question

Hi < rp> Can we horizontally scale supertokens and as far as my knowledge when I tried to see what supertokens core is doing It generates tokens and maintain it in memory right so how can it be working if it needed to be scaled

so how does the validation of tokens take place when it comes from the cookie to the core and I m facing the following error when I try to run supertoken core from the local system ``` A problem occurred evaluating root project supertokens core > Project with path supertokens plugin interface could not be found in root project supertokens core ``` Can you share any links that talks about scalability of supertoken core

> and I m facing the following error when I try to run supertoken core from the local system Are you trying to build from source

> Can you share any links that talks about scalability of supertoken core We don t have anything written about it but just add as many cores as you want in front of a load balancer One core in t2 micro EC2 instance is enough to handle 100k MAUs
