OpenClaw Guide Ch9: Multi-Server Cluster Deployment

Chapter 9: Multi-Server Cluster Deployment 🎯 Learning Objective: Master OpenClaw's multi-server deployment architecture, achieve high availability and horizontal scaling 🏗️ Why Multi-Server Deployment? Single-Server Limitations 🔥 Performance Bottleneck : Limited single-machine resources 💥 Single Point of Failure : Server failure takes down the entire system 📈 Scaling Difficulty : Vertical scaling is expensive, horizontal scaling not possible 🌍 Geographic Limits : Cannot serve global users locally 🔒 Security Risk : All services concentrated on one machine Multi-Server Benefits ⚡ High Performance : Distributed computing, parallel request processing 🛡️ High Availability : Server failure doesn't affect overall availability 📊 Horizontal Scaling : Dynamically add servers based on load 🌐 Geographic Distribution : Deploy globally, serve users locally 🔐 Security Isolation : Different services run in isolated environments 🏛️ Architecture Patterns Pattern 1: Functional Separation ┌───────────────
