It's worth noting that there is no architectural limitation preventing an HA topology: multiple Dorkly servers can be deployed behind one or more load balancers for HA + lower latency where it matters (ie web and mobile apps).

If this is a limitation for anyone I'm happy to work with you on modifying the terraform module to support HA.

Random question while you're paying attention here. In the example repo, I was unable to find a file that _didn't_ say "This file is managed by terraform. Do not edit manually."

Which yaml files is one supposed to edit to actually modify the flags?

The example files are put in place by Terraform, so they will get overwritten next time `terraform apply` is run. You can of course change the example flag files as you're kicking the tires or testing out your app, but to really use the system you'll want to create new flags as documented here: https://github.com/dorklyorg/dorkly/wiki/3.-Common-Tasks#add... These new flags won't be managed by Terraform thus won't get reset to the default values.

This is good feedback. I'll clarify the comments
