## Support for more efficient (specialized) Synapse workers
Thanks to [Charles Wright](https://github.com/cvwright) from [FUTO](https://www.futo.org/), the creators of the [Circles app](https://circu.li/), the playbook has [received support](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/3100) for load-balancing the Synapse workload via [specialized workers](./docs/configuring-playbook-synapse.md#specialized-workers) which are supposed to work better than our old [generic workers]((./docs/configuring-playbook-synapse.md#generic-workers)) implementation.
For now, playbook defaults remain unchanged and the `one-of-each` [workers preset](./docs/configuring-playbook-synapse.md#worker-presets) continues being the default. However, the default may change in the future. If you'd like to remain on this preset even if/when the defaults change, consider explicitly adding `matrix_synapse_workers_preset: one-of-each` to your `vars.yml` configuration.
Our specialized workers setup is based on recommendations found in [Tom Foster](https://github.com/tcpipuk)'s [Synapse homeserver guide](https://tcpipuk.github.io/synapse/index.html). What's special about our new setup is that we try to parse information out of the request (who the user is; which room is being operated on) and try to forward similar requests to the same worker. As an example, this means that once a worker caches some room information, subsequent requests for the same room will be routed to the same worker (which supposedly still has the room's state cached).
To get started, refer to our [Specialized workers](./docs/configuring-playbook-synapse.md#specialized-workers) documentation section.
