Replicate state across nodes

Hello everyone! I`m currently trying to create a demo to learn more about distributed nodes and elixir libraries.

I created this repo and the goal is to create N nodes, make them all see each other, run 1 “cache” (genserver) process across the entire cluster, when the node that is parent of the said process dies, a new process is created inside other node and the last part would be to keep the state when the new process starts.

The cluster part and restart I was able to develop using horde and libcluster libraries but I dont see a way to keep the state across the nodes. Horde says something about handoff and save the state at redis, postgress or something like that… I`d like to develop this using only elixir / erlang. It also mentions delta crdt and other blog posts says something about mnesia but I dont get a way to make neither of them see the dynamic nodes once that all docs I read mentioned to set some pre known node list.

Here is the repo

Can someone please mention an alternative or solution to this problem?

PS: I`m also facing some latency when accessing the endpoint if u spot some problem that could be causing that it would help a lot THANKS :smiley:

So I don’t have experience with Horde, but it looks like that works pretty similar to what I described under the hood, viz. the data is replicated across all nodes, so you wouldn’t need anything else, you’d just use Horde to globalize your Genserver process and it will handle the details for you. Hopefully someone with more experience with the library will be able to confirm with more details, but you might want to include “Horde” in your title/tags.
