Parallel execution of multiple test suites in multiple instances of same browser

What are you trying to achieve?

I’m considering CodeceptJS to use in one of our projects. I’m expecting to have a big number of automated tests there. In a similar project we had around 400, distributed over multiple test suites using the Robot Framework. Executing these tests one after another it takes more than an hour. But in Robot Framework, you can execute test suites in parallel using the pabot runner. Here I found the multiple-execution feature, but as I understand it, it can be used to execute tests in different browsers. I would like to start multiple instances of the same browser. Each instance is then executing one test suite. Can this be done, or do I have to take care of this myself by starting CodeceptJS multiple times with different test suites assigned to be executed?

What do you get instead?

Provide console output if related. Use --verbose mode for more details.

Provide test source code if related

// paste test

You can use the multi configuration for the same browser, you just have to specify which browsers you want to run with the configuration.
