Description

Hey,

I'm having a hard time find any documentation about running FrankenPHP behind a (Caddy) load balancer.

I'm assuming that I'd need a container running plain Caddy with Vulcain, Mercure and Souin, and then reverse proxy to multiple FrankenPHP instances built without vulcain, mercure and souin?

Or should I just run multiple FrankenPHP+Vulcain+Mercure+Souin containers and slap something like a AWS ALB load balancer before it?
