The current architecture would require some changes to support horizontal scaling. We have just talked about it a few times in the threads below and others. Is this something that you would like to contribute towards?

But this got me interested to check out the latest cloud tools, and I want to share what I did, along with some broader thoughts:

Love these ideas. Some more thoughts for OpenMRS 3.0.0 (some technical, some more cultural):
Add more business logic into the Platform (e.g., incorporating emrapi methods like we discussed recently in a design forum ).
Steps toward cluster support
Remove use of singletons (as you mentioned)
Begin using & promoting redis (or similar) for application state
Review queries for those that might not be safe in a clustered enviromment & refactor them
More automation, including integration tests
