2. To run the singlethreaded server, ./start.sh S
3. To run the multithreaded server, ./start.sh M
4. To erase builds, run make clean

Tests

• Run ./start.sh TS to run tests for the single threaded server and ./start.sh TM to test the multithreaded server

To do

1. Containerize server (clone()?)
2. Set up multiple intances of servers and make a load balancer to simulate a distributed system locally. (Is this even possible?)
