 * Minimal dependencies. Uses your existing database (or no database at all). Redis not required either.
+* Built-in cluster support by running 2+ Scheddy instances. (Database required in this case.)
 * Tasks and their schedules are versioned as part of your code.

+#### Running 2+ Scheddy instances in a cluster
+
+Running multiple Scheddy instances will automatically form a cluster with one leader and however many standbys. Tasks are only executed by the leader.
+
+Clean and unclean handoffs are both supported, taking 1-2 and 4-5 minutes respectively. After a handoff, task executions will be caught up by the new leader, same as if a single instance had been stopped and restarted.
+
+Note that the prior section's promise that a task will only be executed once at a time cannot be guaranteed in the case of a handoff between Scheddy instances. Since tasks are intended to run very quickly, and long tasks should run via ActiveJob instead, this should not be an issue in practice.

 ### In production
 
-Scheddy runs as its own process. It is intended to be run only once. Because Scheddy has the ability to catch up missed tasks, redundancy should be achieved through automatic restarts via `systemd`, `dockerd`, Kubernetes, or whatever supervisory system you use.

-During deployment, shutdown the old instance before starting the new one. In Kubernetes this might look like:
-```yaml
-kind: Deployment
-spec:
-  replicas: 1
-  strategy:
-    rollingUpdate:
-      maxSurge: 0
-      maxUnavailable: 1
-  template:

-      terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 60

+Scheddy runs as its own process. During app deployments, it is recommended to shutdown the old Scheddy instance before starting the new one.
+
+Since Scheddy has the ability to catch up missed tasks, it is often viable to run just a single Scheddy instance, especially when that instance is automatically restarted by `systemd`, `dockerd`, Kubernetes, or whatever supervisory system you use.
+
+It is also possible to run 2+ Scheddy instances as a cluster. One instance will be selected as the leader and execute tasks. The other instance(s) will operate as standbys, ready to take over if the leader steps down or fails.
