07/03/2022, 5:27 AMHello, I have a doubt regarding multiple instances on the supertokens core running at the same time? I'm looking at the self-hosted version, and was wondering if I have 3 docker containers running the supertokens core and pointing to the same DB does this create an issue or can I have as many containers running as I need. This is for a High Availability simulations on my side. The full use case is for example putting all my core instances behind a load balancer so I don't have a single point of failure.

Copy code
core1address;core2address;core3address;m
