Topic 3: Stateless replicas behind a load balancer

11 min read·22 Sept 2026

Here is the fleet this part builds. The dashed boxes are the state that stays shared even when the protocol is stateless:

A balancer in front of two replicas. Both run create_app, both read the same notes folder and checkpoints on shared storage, and both are configured with the same request-state secret.
Two replicas, one shared store, one shared secret.
