Storing all genserver pid in ets table in each node

@lud

Plus if you have 1 unique genserver per node that should always be here, you can register it with a local name, so you do not need the pid, you always know that on each node there is that process.

Was just coming back to mention this

GenServer — Elixir v1.15.8

Notice @Erynn that a GenServer started with start_link(..., name: MyLocalAtomName) is addressable with GenServer.call({MyLocalAtomName, :"my_node_999@my_host"}, ...) as long as the node names are known ahead of time.

@lud

Well that node would have to be connected to the 999 others, not sure if itis prnctical.

You’re right, it shouldn’t be part of the BEAM cluster at all, but a standalone service, e.g., HTTP REST API.
