Thanks again for the extra info and links :) > "Erlang/Elixir don't strive to make distributed caches. I've wrote apps that have been scaled to 5 separate servers and each server has their own cache. Takes a little more to warm the caches up on restarts but it has never been an issue so far." Yeah that's what I figured, makes total sense. Got into exactly the same thinking designing a circuit breaker at work. Better to let individual nodes do their own circuit breaking rather than introduce state, the complexity savings largely exceed the small cost of a little extra time needed to circuit break.
