- Storage layer - how/where things get stored - [already done](http://nodered.org/docs/api/storage/index.html).
- Message routing - how a message gets routed. Default implementation does the in-memory direct access to a node's `.receive` function. Alternative implementations could serialise the message to JSON and send over the network
- Flow handling - sits in the load/save path for flows. Need to refine how much is exposed to the API and where exactly it sits in the deploy process.

- Context backing - we intend to make [context more widely used](https://github.com/node-red/node-red/issues/567).

Even in the single-instance case, this would allow context to be persisted.
