Hi! Your product looks quite good to be clear, and that was in no way a slam on it. I’ve long wanted a reasonable excuse to use it, just to see how it works at scale.

One thing that stopped me from trying it in the past for a project was this:

> Is rqlite a good match for a network of nodes that come and go – perhaps thousands of them?

> Unlikely.

While I wasn’t going to get to thousands, it was going to be hosted on K8s, and it seemed like I’d have to write lifecyclehooks to ensure nodes gracefully left consensus, and others felt that was an unnecessary complexity for the problem. Can you speak more to this point, since in the FAQ you also say it can run on K8s? If a node dies due to, say, hardware failure, when it rejoins is it seen as a slightly out-of-date existing node since it’s part of statefulset? If so, assuming quorum is maintained, this is probably a lot easier than I was making it out to be.
