Erlang distribution is limited to 45-60 nodes. There is an academic research on Erlang SD which suggests two things:

Split cluster into smaller islands which are interconnected via supernodes - for a Gateway it's an essential task to deliver request to the desirable cluster;
Name this islands by environment/host tags - gateway could pick upstream based on those clusters properties ("this API sends requests to nodes with available GPU");

We could provide an RPC protocol with service discovery on top of Erlang.

This is way future work since we don't have demand for clusters of that size.
