-Includes a minimal [Node Cluster](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v8.x/api/cluster.html) [implementation](server/index.js) to parallelize the single-threaded Node process across the available CPU cores.

-## Switching from create-react-app-buildpack
-
-If an app was previously deployed with [create-react-app-buildpack](https://github.com/mars/create-react-app-buildpack), then a few steps are required to migrate the app to this architecture:
-
-1. Remove **create-react-app-buildpack** from the app; [heroku/nodejs buildpack](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/nodejs-support#activation) will be automatically activated
-  
-    ```bash
-    heroku buildpacks:clear
-    ```
-1. Move the root React app files (including dotfiles) into a `react-ui/` subdirectory
-
-    ```bash
-    mkdir react-ui
-    git mv -k [!react-ui]* react-ui/
-    mv node_modules react-ui/
-    
-    # If you see "fatal: Not a git repository", then fix that error
-    mv react-ui/.git ./
-    ```
-    ⚠️ *Some folks have reported problems with these commands. Using the `bash` shell will probably allow them to work. Sorry if they do not work for you, know that the point is to move **everything** in the repo into the `react-ui/` subdirectory. Except for `.git/` which should remain at the root level.* 
-1. Create a root [`package.json`](package.json), [`server/`](server/), & [`.gitignore`](.gitignore) modeled after the code in this repo
-1. Commit and deploy ♻️
-  
-    ```bash
-    git add -A
-    git commit -m 'Migrate from create-react-app-buildpack to Node server'
-    git push heroku master
-    ```
-  
-
 ## Local Development

-Because this app is made of two npm projects, there are two places to run `npm` commands:
-
-1. **Node API server** at the root `./`
-1. **React UI** in `react-ui/` directory.
