## Synapse workers support
After [lots and lots of work](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/456) (done over many months by [Marcel Partap](https://github.com/eMPee584), [Max Klenk](https://github.com/maxklenk), a few others from the [Technical University of Dresden, Germany](https://tu-dresden.de/) and various other contributors), support for Synapse workers has finally landed.
Having support for workers makes the playbook suitable for larger homeserver deployments.
Our setup is not yet perfect (we don't support all types of workers; scaling some of them (like `pusher`, `federation_sender`) beyond a single instance is not yet supported). Still, it's a great start and can already power homeservers with thousands of users, like the [Matrix deployment at TU Dresden](https://doc.matrix.tu-dresden.de/en/) discussed in [Matrix Live S06E09 - TU Dresden on their Matrix deployment](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHJX2pmT2gk).
By default, workers are disabled and Synapse runs as a single process (homeservers don't necessarily need the complexity and increased memory requirements of running a worker-based setup).
To enable Synapse workers, follow our [Load balancing with workers](docs/configuring-playbook-synapse.md#load-balancing-with-workers) documentation.
