Configuring Synapse workers From the Installer's Synapse page, scroll down to Synapse workers view. Click on Add Workers You have to select a Worker Type. Here are the workers which can be useful to you : Pushers : If you experience slowness with notifications sending to clients Client-Reader : If you experience slowness when clients login and sync their chat rooms Synchrotron : If you experience slowness when rooms are active Federation-x : If you are working in a federated setup, you might want to dedicate federation to workers. If you are experiencing resources congestion, you can try to reduce the resources requested by each worker. Be aware that if the node gets full of memory, it will try to kill containers which are consuming more than what they requested if a container consumes more than its memory limit, it will be automatically killed by the node, even if there is free memory left. You will need to re-run the installer after making these changes for them to take effect.
