Hi Elixirforum,

Plain and simple, I would like to learn in-detail about nodes, clusters, their use cases, and when to use them or when not to.

A book recommendation or even video course would be a great help.

Note: all I have found that truly intersects with my question is [Designing for Scalability with Erlang/OTP [Book]](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/designing-for-scalability/9781449361556/) but it’s in Erlang which is okay, but are there more?

Thanks!
