 ### Why do we need a distributed Erlang Cluster?
 
 At Supabase, we use clustering in all of our Elixir projects which include [Logflare](https://github.com/Logflare/logflare), [Supavisor](https://github.com/supabase/supavisor) and [Realtime](https://github.com/supabase/realtime). With multiple servers connected we can load shed, create globally distributed services and provide the best service to our customers so we’re closer to them geographically and to their instances, reducing overall latency.
