Any plans to implement Node.js Cluster into parse-server? #787

Description

@noder199

Hello, are there any plans to implement this into parse-server? I am new and learning node so this is new stuff to me. An example here.

    You should not need that for development purposes, and otherwise, I'd recommend using a process manager like pm2 or strong-pm

    Is this particular feature what you are referring to? Does pm2 grant the sort of scalability that a node cluster provides? Why isn't pm2 already a dependency in the project?

    Also, Thanks for your contributions to the repository.

    If you're new to node then don't muck around with clusters yet. Just use something like Heroku in production.

    @noder199 yes this is the feature I'm talking about, but like @lacker says, you should not mess around with that if you're new to node, or system administration or process management. Most of the cloud providers (AWS, heroku, google) provide a safe and proper way to run a node.js server.

    @flovilmart Alrighty, just to be clear, pm2 is something I use when NOT using a cloud provider? Cloud providers do something equivalent? Just trying to better understand this, because I see terms like pm2 thrown around from time to time in this forum.

    Alright so just to answer myself in case others are wondering, pm2 is not needed on services like Heroku or AWS because these platforms handle scaling instances of your server on their own. If you use digital ocean or your own linux machine for your server, then pm2 can basically provide similar functionality to what Heroku/AWS/etc. provide for scaling, so it really isn't something to be concerned about if you host on a Platform-As-A-Service.
