Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hibiken/asynq/issues/88

Is it safe to use 4x workers with for example concurrency 20 each? For example in a containerized environment, where each worker runs in its own container?

Just wondering because I did not see this addressed specifically in other questions or documentation.

@gunnsth Thanks for opening an issue and asking this question.

You should be able to run multiple worker processes connecting to the same Redis instance and read from the same queue. Alternatively, you can run multiple worker processes with each reading from different queues.

There's asynqmon ps command to list all workers processes.

Please let me know if you run into any issues!
