hej @jfowler

short answers to your questions

1. Multiple web frontend use case?

Having multiple Servers serving the API / Web become more important when having a higher count of users - but it is not really needed, but it does not harm.

2. Processing

  1. global inputs have the advantage that any node is able to take work on that input
  2. you need to balance the traffic yourself between all nodes, no distribution of work
  3. you need to decide yourself what way of balancing you choose - once a message reaches one GL server it will be processed and stored according to your configuration in ES.
