Distributed Signal K (New User)

Good afternoon!

Can I install multiple SignalK instances aboard, and have them communicate/merge data over the TCP/IP network?

My idea is that I would have a Raspi Zero 2 W at my NMEA/Seatalk bridge, and then run Signal K on a Raspi 4b somewhere else. Is this how SignalK works? Or is it more a system built around a single primary host? Is there a way to multiplex data?

I'm about to install SignalK aboard, and I'm curious about how SignalK works, and how it communicates between various devices (is it like Mqtt?). I'm new to Signal K, but I have a lot of experience with microcontrollers and Home Assistant (but not so much that I'm sure that HA runs on Node Red, though I think they're similar?) Thanks for your help!
