Thanks for the question.

Woodpecker cluster mode is currently in the E2E regression and performance testing phase, and we expect the release around two months from now.

We’ll share updates if there are any changes to the timeline.

Already supports WP service mode. For build and deployment steps, please refer to the README in the deployment directory of the latest master/dev branch.
