Channel- Can I dynamically adjust the amount of workers?

[Dennis Kao]

I'm trying to use Channel on my chat app & APNs(Apple Push Notification service), I'm planning to use 

python manage.py runworker --only-channels = apns

but the APNs will cost lots of time waiting for response and could receive bunch of message at same time, but it didn't cost much time on operation; so, it would be nice if it could automatically increase worker if current worker for this Channel is busy, and close if the worker is finished.

or, is my concept wrong and there's a better way to accomplish the APNs service ? sorry for my english grammar, but this issue is bothering me for a week and I couldn't find any solution. 

thanks for any help.

Hi Dennis,

You can scale the number of workers using something designed for that sort of auto-scaling - you just need an image that runs a worker and something that knows how to launch and stop those images on whatever platform you're using (AWS, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, Docker, Nomad, etc.). It's not something built into Channels as it's a problem better solved by a dedicated tool.
