To expand a bit: we didn’t implement load balancing, because nothing we can possible implement will ever approach the feature set and reliability of a proven tool like [`nginx`](https://www.nginx.com/) - load balancing HTTP traffic (which, ultimately, is all both Vision _and_ Perspective use) is a “solved problem”, so we didn’t want to reinvent the wheel.

Project synchronization between gateways _is_ something we plan on improving as a larger push to expand and improve EAM, but that will likely be in future _major_ versions, not minor (eg, 8.1, 8.2 rather than 8.0.X)
