This style of configuration supersedes the legacy `synapse.app.appservice`

#### Push Notifications
You can designate generic worker to sending push notifications to
a [push gateway](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.5/push-gateway-api/) such as
[sygnal](https://github.com/matrix-org/sygnal) and email.
This will stop the main process sending push notifications.
The workers responsible for sending push notifications can be defined using the
[`pusher_instances`](usage/configuration/config_documentation.md#pusher_instances)
option. For example:
```yaml
pusher_instances:
- pusher_worker1
- pusher_worker2
```
Multiple workers can be added to this map, in which case the work is balanced
across them. Ensure the main process and all pusher workers are restarted after changing
this option.
These workers don't need to accept incoming HTTP requests to send push notifications,
so no additional reverse proxy configuration is required for pusher workers.
This style of configuration supersedes the legacy `synapse.app.pusher`
worker application type.
