+
+  # Note that a [HTTP listener](usage/configuration/config_documentation.md#listeners)
+  # with `client` and `federation` `resources` must be configured in the `worker_listeners`
+  # option in the worker config.
+
+  # #### Load balancing
+
+  # It is possible to run multiple instances of this worker app, with incoming requests
+  # being load-balanced between them by the reverse-proxy. However, different endpoints
+  # have different characteristics and so admins
+  # may wish to run multiple groups of workers handling different endpoints so that
+  # load balancing can be done in different ways.
+
+  # For `/sync` and `/initialSync` requests it will be more efficient if all
+  # requests from a particular user are routed to a single instance. Extracting a
+  # user ID from the access token or `Authorization` header is currently left as an
+  # exercise for the reader. Admins may additionally wish to separate out `/sync`
+  # requests that have a `since` query parameter from those that don't (and
+  # `/initialSync`), as requests that don't are known as "initial sync" that happens
+  # when a user logs in on a new device and can be *very* resource intensive, so
+  # isolating these requests will stop them from interfering with other users ongoing
+  # syncs.
+
+  # Federation and client requests can be balanced via simple round robin.
+
+  # The inbound federation transaction request `^/_matrix/federation/v1/send/`
+  # should be balanced by source IP so that transactions from the same remote server
+  # go to the same process.
+
+  # Registration/login requests can be handled separately purely to help ensure that
+  # unexpected load doesn't affect new logins and sign ups.
+
+  # Finally, event sending requests can be balanced by the room ID in the URI (or
+  # the full URI, or even just round robin), the room ID is the path component after
+  # `/rooms/`. If there is a large bridge connected that is sending or may send lots
+  # of events, then a dedicated set of workers can be provisioned to limit the
+  # effects of bursts of events from that bridge on events sent by normal users.
+
+  # #### Stream writers
+
+  # Additionally, the writing of specific streams (such as events) can be moved off
+  # of the main process to a particular worker.
+
+  # To enable this, the worker must have a
+  # [HTTP `replication` listener](usage/configuration/config_documentation.md#listeners) configured,
+  # have a `worker_name` and be listed in the `instance_map` config. The same worker
+  # can handle multiple streams, but unless otherwise documented, each stream can only
+  # have a single writer.
+
+  # For example, to move event persistence off to a dedicated worker, the shared
+  # configuration would include:
+
+  # ```yaml
+  # instance_map:
+  #     event_persister1:
+  #         host: localhost
+  #         port: 8034
+
+  # stream_writers:
+  #     events: event_persister1
+  # ```
+
+  # An example for a stream writer instance:
+
+  # ```yaml
+  # {{#include systemd-with-workers/workers/event_persister.yaml}}
+  # ```
+
+  # Some of the streams have associated endpoints which, for maximum efficiency, should
+  # be routed to the workers handling that stream. See below for the currently supported
+  # streams and the endpoints associated with them:
+
+  # ##### The `events` stream
+
+  # The `events` stream experimentally supports having multiple writers, where work
+  # is sharded between them by room ID. Note that you *must* restart all worker
+  # instances when adding or removing event persisters. An example `stream_writers`
+  # configuration with multiple writers:
+
+  # ```yaml
+  # stream_writers:
+  #     events:
+  #         - event_persister1
+  #         - event_persister2
+  # ```
+
+  # ##### The `typing` stream
+
+  # The following endpoints should be routed directly to the worker configured as
+  # the stream writer for the `typing` stream:
+
+  # FIXME: ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS REQUIRED: to be enabled manually
+  # ^/_matrix/client/(api/v1|r0|v3|unstable)/rooms/.*/typing
+
+  # ##### The `to_device` stream
+
+  # The following endpoints should be routed directly to the worker configured as
+  # the stream writer for the `to_device` stream:
+
+  # FIXME: ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS REQUIRED: to be enabled manually
+  # ^/_matrix/client/(r0|v3|unstable)/sendToDevice/
+
+  # ##### The `account_data` stream
+
+  # The following endpoints should be routed directly to the worker configured as
+  # the stream writer for the `account_data` stream:
+
+  # FIXME: ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS REQUIRED: to be enabled manually
+  # ^/_matrix/client/(r0|v3|unstable)/.*/tags
+  # ^/_matrix/client/(r0|v3|unstable)/.*/account_data
+
+  # ##### The `receipts` stream
+
+  # The following endpoints should be routed directly to the worker configured as
+  # the stream writer for the `receipts` stream:
+
+  # FIXME: ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS REQUIRED: to be enabled manually
+  # ^/_matrix/client/(r0|v3|unstable)/rooms/.*/receipt
+  # ^/_matrix/client/(r0|v3|unstable)/rooms/.*/read_markers
+
+  # ##### The `presence` stream
+
+  # The following endpoints should be routed directly to the worker configured as
+  # the stream writer for the `presence` stream:
+
+  # FIXME: ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS REQUIRED: to be enabled manually
+  # ^/_matrix/client/(api/v1|r0|v3|unstable)/presence/
+
+  # #### Background tasks
+
+  # There is also support for moving background tasks to a separate
+  # worker. Background tasks are run periodically or started via replication. Exactly
+  # which tasks are configured to run depends on your Synapse configuration (e.g. if
+  # stats is enabled). This worker doesn't handle any REST endpoints itself.
+
+  # To enable this, the worker must have a `worker_name` and can be configured to run
+  # background tasks. For example, to move background tasks to a dedicated worker,
+  # the shared configuration would include:
+
+  # ```yaml
+  # run_background_tasks_on: background_worker
+  # ```
+
+  # You might also wish to investigate the `update_user_directory_from_worker` and
+  # `media_instance_running_background_jobs` settings.
+
+  # An example for a dedicated background worker instance:
+
+  # ```yaml
+  # {{#include systemd-with-workers/workers/background_worker.yaml}}
+  # ```
+
+  # #### Updating the User Directory
+
+  # You can designate one generic worker to update the user directory.
+
+  # Specify its name in the shared configuration as follows:
+
+  # ```yaml
+  # update_user_directory_from_worker: worker_name
+  # ```
+
+  # This work cannot be load-balanced; please ensure the main process is restarted
+  # after setting this option in the shared configuration!
+
+  # User directory updates allow REST endpoints matching the following regular
+  # expressions to work:
+
+  # FIXME: ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS REQUIRED: to be enabled manually
+  # ^/_matrix/client/(r0|v3|unstable)/user_directory/search$
+
+  # The above endpoints can be routed to any worker, though you may choose to route
+  # it to the chosen user directory worker.
+
+  # This style of configuration supersedes the legacy `synapse.app.user_dir`
+  # worker application type.
+
+
+  # #### Notifying Application Services
+
+  # You can designate one generic worker to send output traffic to Application Services.
+  # Doesn't handle any REST endpoints itself, but you should specify its name in the
+  # shared configuration as follows:
+
+  # ```yaml
+  # notify_appservices_from_worker: worker_name
+  # ```
+
+  # This work cannot be load-balanced; please ensure the main process is restarted
+  # after setting this option in the shared configuration!
+
+  # This style of configuration supersedes the legacy `synapse.app.appservice`
+  # worker application type.

+
+# pusher worker (no API endpoints) [

+  # To run multiple instances at once the `pusher_instances` option should list all

+
+  # In the `media_repository` worker configuration file, configure the
