[question] What are the risks of the "experimental" generate_node_id feature?

Seems like generate_node_id is a couple years old now. Is it considered experimental?

We're looking at using Kubernetes autoscaling, so to handle the issue of what happens when we scale down, it's either use generate_node_id or migrate off of verk. I'd like to figure out how safe the feature is at this point.

What should we be watching out for, if anything?

Great question. I think we can safely update this to not be considered experimental anymore. It has been used in production for a few years and it has worked as intended 👌 . It could probably default to true tbh

Does this mean if I have generate_node_id to true, I can safely spin up two dynos on Heroku for my app?

Thanks in advance and thanks for creating verk

Yes! It's the way to go!
