Now that we've got ourselves a running application, you'll have played around a bit and created, read, updated, and deleted many notes.
Suppose for a moment this isn't a toy application, but one that is interesting enough to draw a million users a day. Serving a high load typically means adding servers, load balancers, and many other things. A core part is to have multiple instances of the application running at the same time to spread the load.
Let's see what happens when you run multiple instances of the Notes application at the same time.
