How feasible would it be to run Hydra as a distributed system? Say I had a few dozen or maybe even a hundred or more thin clients (ARM or RISC-V or whatever). Is it theoretically possible for Hydra to be distributed among those clients (assuming they're all on the same overarching network, of course) so none of them is doing much work or for long, but the whole thing is entirely bootstrapped (reminiscent of IPFS)?

And because this is distributed across an entire fleet, you can do some crazy Gentoo-level optimization... the prospect is very exciting indeed.

@darkwater4213:matrix.orgdarkwater4213Imagine: serverless fleet management. MDM... without a manager.08:56:34
@k900:0upti.meK900What do you even mean by "distributed system"?08:56:41
@k900:0upti.meK900Hydra is not a generic orchestrator like k8s08:56:49
@k900:0upti.meK900It builds stuff08:56:51
@k900:0upti.meK900If you don't need to build stuff, or need more than to build stuff, Hydra will not solve your problem08:57:03
