In particular, when running on **Kubernetes** you will probably **not** want to use workers and instead run **a single Uvicorn process per container**, but I'll tell you about it later in that chapter.

## Multiple Workers { #multiple-workers }

You can start multiple workers with the `--workers` command line option:

//// tab | `fastapi`

If you use the `fastapi` command:

load, number of objects in the object store as well as storage speed. In addition, any bandwidth limits set via `mc admin bucket remote add` could also contribute to replication speed. The number of workers used for replication defaults to 100. Based on network bandwidth and system load, the number of workers used in replication can be configured using `mc admin config set alias api` to set the `replication_workers`. The prometheus metrics exposed by MinIO can be used to plan resource allocation and bandwidth...
