Summary
In this chapter, we discussed two solutions that handle the stateful applications in clusters. One is sticky sessions and the other is session replication. These two solutions are usually used together to provide high availability in a Stateful cluster.
When we are building a cluster, we should always consider building a stateless one at first because a stateless cluster is very easy to scale, and it doesn't have performance bottleneck on session replication.
