How to support multiple worker processes?

[shauns]

Is anybody using this library in production with multiple worker processes?

I wondered how people are handling conversation state when the bot is behind a load balancer. At the moment, it seems that Bootbot._conversations relies on local state.

Currently everything is local and in memory. You would have to find another way to hold conversational state, for example state machines, and save them in a shared database.

Sorry, but there is nothing on the roadmap pushing for this sort of thing. Let me know if you have any more questions. I'll leave this open for a bit in case someone has any good suggestions.

Any examples as to the best practices for saving responses in a database?
