## Enable Clustering (experimental)
Clustering in hawkBit is based on _Spring Cloud Bus_. It is enabled by default in microservice apps and disabled (by default) in the
monolith app. To enable it for monolith app you should set (via environment, system properties or properties files) the following:
Add to your `pom.xml` :
```properties
spring.autoconfigure.exclude=
spring.cloud.bus.enabled=true
```
Optional as well is the addition of [Protostuff](https://github.com/protostuff/protostuff) based message payload
serialization for improved performance. To enable it set (via environment, system properties or properties files):
```properties
spring.cloud.stream.bindings.springCloudBusInput.content-type=application/binary+protostuff
spring.cloud.stream.bindings.springCloudBusOutput.content-type=application/binary+protostuff
```
and add to your `pom.xml` :
```xml
io.protostuff
protostuff-core
io.protostuff
protostuff-runtime
```
