[erlang-questions] gen_server is a single

[Chris Hicks]

Each gen_server is, indeed, a single process. What you can do, however, is spawn multiple gen_servers under a single supervisor. You can do this by creating a one_for_one or one_for_all supervisor with multiple child specifications, or a simple_one_for_one supervisor and then make multiple calls to supervisor:start_child(Supervisor_name, Args).
Either of these methods will give you multiple gen_server processes under a supervision tree, it just depends on exactly what you want to do. I recommend reading up on these following two links:

gen_server is a single process?

Is there any way to do multi-process?
