Hello I have a doubt regarding multiple instances on the sup

Question

Hello 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

Each core is stateless and you can run as many as you like connected to the same db

You don t even need a load balance in frontend since our backend SDK queries them in a round robin You just have to give the connection URI in the following format ``` core1address core2address core3address ```

this means I could even have all cores behind a single DNS entry and provide that to the backend sdk so that bringing up new container instances is transparent for my application
