Netty and scalation

[Ngoc Dao]

It depends on your protocol of your choice.

If you use HTTP, then use any web server that's based on Netty, for
example this one:
https://github.com/ngocdaothanh/xitrum

Because you use HTTP, you can scale the same way you scale Tomcat, Apache etc.

If you use your own protocol, then you need load balancers that work
at the TCP level.
