+# Workers
+
+> **Beta:** Breaking changes may occur without a major version bump until the API is stable. See [known limitations](#known-limitations) for current gaps.
+
+Workers handle background processing outside the request-response cycle. Workflow step execution, cron-based scheduling, and long-running tool calls all run in workers, keeping the API responsive.
+
+By default, workers run in the same process as the API. For production workloads, you can split them into separate processes or containers and scale each one independently.
+
+## When to use workers
+
+Workers matter when any of these apply:
+
+- Workflow steps take more than a few seconds and shouldn't block API responses
+- You need event durability so in-flight work survives process restarts
+- Different parts of the system need to scale independently (e.g., more orchestration capacity without more API instances)
+- Background tool calls should run on dedicated compute
+
+If your application handles light traffic and workflows complete fast, the default in-process setup works fine. Skip the worker infrastructure until you need it.
+
+## Worker types
+
+Mastra has three built-in worker types. Each handles a specific kind of background processing.
+
+### Orchestration worker
+
+This worker subscribes to workflow events on the [PubSub](https://mastra.ai/docs/server/pubsub) bus and executes workflow steps. It handles each `workflow.start` and lifecycle event together with every step transition.
+
+In a split deployment, the orchestration worker pulls events from a distributed PubSub backend and delegates step execution back to the API over HTTP. In-process, it runs steps directly.
+
+The orchestration worker requires a PubSub backend that supports pull mode (e.g., [`RedisStreamsPubSub`](https://mastra.ai/reference/pubsub/redis-streams), [`ValkeyStreamsPubSub`](https://mastra.ai/reference/pubsub/valkey-streams), or [`GoogleCloudPubSub`](https://mastra.ai/reference/pubsub/google-cloud-pubsub)).
+
+### Scheduler worker
+
+Polls storage for due cron schedules and publishes a `workflow.start` event for each fire. It's a producer only, meaning it creates work for the orchestration worker to pick up:
+
+- **Split processes**: Scheduled workflows run on the evented engine, and the orchestration worker runs each fire step by step.
+- **In-process mode**: Scheduled workflows run on the default engine. The orchestration worker in the same process runs each fire in-process, the same way a direct `run.start()` does.
+
+The scheduler reads declarative `schedule` fields from your workflow definitions automatically. See [Scheduled workflows](https://mastra.ai/docs/workflows/scheduled-workflows) for how to declare schedules.
+
+The scheduler only polls storage once a schedule exists. At boot, a process with no declared schedules runs a single `listSchedules()` check. If that check finds no rows, the poll loop never starts, so idle deployments issue no recurring scheduler queries and can scale to zero.
+
+When a schedule is created at runtime, Mastra publishes a wake event on the PubSub backend. Any process running the default worker set starts its scheduler in response, which is how a standalone worker discovers schedules created by the API process. This requires both processes to share the same PubSub backend.
+
+To poll from startup regardless of whether schedules exist (for example, when your processes don't share a PubSub backend), set `scheduler: { enabled: true }` on the worker or run it with `MASTRA_WORKERS=scheduler`.
+
+**Don't run more than one scheduler instance.** Multiple schedulers polling the same storage would fire duplicate events for the same schedule.
+
+### Background task worker
+
+Executes agent tool calls marked with `background: { enabled: true }`. When an agent invokes a background tool, the API dispatches the task to this worker instead of blocking the response stream.
+
+The background task worker manages concurrency limits, task lifecycle, and result delivery through the PubSub bus.
+
+## How workers run
+
+### In-process mode (default)
+
+With no configuration, Mastra runs workers inside the API process. Events flow through an in-memory PubSub, and everything shares a single Node.js runtime.
+
+```typescript
+import { Mastra } from '@mastra/core/mastra'
+
+export const mastra = new Mastra({
+  // Workers run in-process by default.
+  // No pubsub or worker config needed.
+})
+```
+
+The server generated by `mastra build` starts these workers automatically. If you use a [server adapter](https://mastra.ai/docs/server/server-adapters) instead, add a call to `mastra.startWorkers()` after your server starts listening. See [Start background workers](https://mastra.ai/docs/server/server-adapters).
+
+This setup needs no external infrastructure beyond your storage adapter. It doesn't survive process crashes, and you can't scale individual components.
+
+### Split processes
+
+To run workers in their own processes, configure a distributed [PubSub](https://mastra.ai/docs/server/pubsub) backend and use the `MASTRA_WORKERS` environment variable to control which workers start in each process.
+
+**Redis Streams + PostgreSQL**:
+
+```typescript
+import { Mastra } from '@mastra/core/mastra'
+import { RedisStreamsPubSub } from '@mastra/redis-streams'
+import { PostgresStore } from '@mastra/pg'
+
+export const mastra = new Mastra({
+  storage: new PostgresStore({
+    connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL!,
+  }),
+  pubsub: new RedisStreamsPubSub({
+    url: process.env.REDIS_URL!,
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+**Google Cloud Pub/Sub + LibSQL**:
+
+```typescript
+import { Mastra } from '@mastra/core/mastra'
+import { GoogleCloudPubSub } from '@mastra/google-cloud-pubsub'
+import { LibSQLStore } from '@mastra/libsql'
+
+export const mastra = new Mastra({
+  storage: new LibSQLStore({
+    url: process.env.DATABASE_URL!,
+  }),
+  pubsub: new GoogleCloudPubSub({
+    projectId: process.env.GCP_PROJECT_ID!,
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+Any [supported storage backend](https://mastra.ai/reference/workers/overview) works. Swap the storage adapter for your preferred database.
+
+Run the same build artifact in multiple containers, each with a different [`MASTRA_WORKERS`](https://mastra.ai/reference/workers/overview) value to control which worker starts in each process.
+
+Split deployments require a distributed PubSub backend ([`RedisStreamsPubSub`](https://mastra.ai/reference/pubsub/redis-streams), [`ValkeyStreamsPubSub`](https://mastra.ai/reference/pubsub/valkey-streams), or [`GoogleCloudPubSub`](https://mastra.ai/reference/pubsub/google-cloud-pubsub)), a shared [storage backend](https://mastra.ai/reference/workers/overview), and network connectivity between the orchestration worker and the API.
+
+### Select workers
+
+Set [`MASTRA_WORKERS`](https://mastra.ai/reference/workers/overview) to control which workers run in each process:
+
+| Value                           | Behavior                                                                       |
+| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `false`                         | Disable all workers. Use this for the API process in a fully split deployment. |
+| `orchestration`                 | Start the orchestration worker.                                                |
+| `scheduler`                     | Start the scheduler worker.                                                    |
+| `backgroundTasks`               | Start the background task worker.                                              |
+| `orchestration,backgroundTasks` | Start multiple workers from a comma-separated allowlist.                       |
+
+You can also pass a worker name to the CLI. The command sets `MASTRA_WORKERS` in the spawned process:
+
+```bash
+mastra worker start orchestration
+```
+
+Set `MASTRA_WORKERS` on every process in a split deployment, including `false` on the API process. Any value switches workflows that declare `schedule` to the evented engine, and every process must run those workflows on the same engine. See [Scheduled workflows](https://mastra.ai/docs/workflows/scheduled-workflows). `mastra worker start` without a worker name doesn't set `MASTRA_WORKERS`, so pass a name or set the variable in the process environment.
+
+## Network architecture
+
+Workers are internal infrastructure. They're not exposed to end users and don't need their own subdomain or public URL, including an inbound HTTP route.
+
+In a split deployment:
+
+- **The API server is the only public-facing process**: It serves all client HTTP requests. These requests include REST endpoints and agent interactions, plus workflow triggers and custom routes.
+- **Workers don't serve client traffic**: They pull events from the distributed PubSub backend and read/write to the shared storage database. Each worker process also listens on `PORT` (default `4111`) for internal health checks. `/health` reports readiness and `/config` returns the worker configuration to authorized callers. Keep this port on the private network.
+- **The orchestration worker calls the API internally**: It sends step execution requests to the API over the container network using `MASTRA_STEP_EXECUTION_URL`. This is internal service-to-service communication, not a public endpoint.
+
+All three worker types (orchestration, scheduler, background task) sit behind the API on a private network. They share access to the PubSub backend and storage database but never receive traffic directly from clients. HTTP routes for worker-related features run on the API server rather than the worker process. One example is creating a token for a voice integration.
+
+## Deploy split workers
+
+Build the API and worker artifacts:
+
+```bash
+mastra build
+mastra worker build --output-dir .mastra/worker
+```
+
+`mastra build` creates the API artifact in `.mastra/output/`. [`mastra worker build`](https://mastra.ai/reference/cli/mastra) creates a worker artifact in `.mastra/worker/`. The following Dockerfile accepts either directory:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM node:22-alpine
+
+ARG MASTRA_OUTPUT=.mastra/output
+
+WORKDIR /app
+
+COPY ${MASTRA_OUTPUT}/package.json ${MASTRA_OUTPUT}/.npmrc* ./
+RUN npm install --omit=dev
+
+COPY ${MASTRA_OUTPUT}/ .
+
+EXPOSE 4111
+CMD ["node", "index.mjs"]
+```
+
+See [Deploy a Mastra server](https://mastra.ai/docs/deployment/mastra-server) for more information about the build output.
+
+### Docker Compose
+
+The following configuration runs PostgreSQL, Redis, the API, and one process for each worker type. Every process uses shared infrastructure, and the worker processes use the worker artifact.

+```
+
+Configure the API auth provider to accept `WORKER_TOKEN` before exposing the deployment. The orchestration worker sends the same value through `MASTRA_WORKER_AUTH_TOKEN`. The scheduler and background task workers don't call the step execution endpoint in this pull-based topology, so they don't need that variable.

+Start the stack and verify that the containers and API are available:
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d
+docker compose ps
+curl http://localhost:4111/api/agents
+```
+
+### Kubernetes
+
+> **Helm:** On Kubernetes, the [`mastra-projects` Helm chart](https://mastra.ai/integrations/deploy/kubernetes-helm) renders these deployments for you, with the workers on the same image and environment as the server. It also refuses to install combinations that would run every worker twice. The manifests below are for writing them by hand.
+
+Create separate Deployments for the API, orchestration worker, scheduler worker, and background task worker. Use the same image and Secret for each Deployment. Set only the role-specific environment variables directly on each container.
+
+The orchestration worker Deployment has the following shape:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: Deployment
+metadata:
+  name: orchestration-worker
+spec:
+  replicas: 1
+  selector:
+    matchLabels:
+      app: orchestration-worker
+  template:
+    metadata:
+      labels:
+        app: orchestration-worker
+    spec:
+      containers:
+        - name: worker
+          image: your-registry/mastra-workers:latest
+          env:
+            - name: MASTRA_WORKERS
+              value: orchestration
+            - name: MASTRA_STEP_EXECUTION_URL
+              value: http://api:4111/api
+          envFrom:
+            - secretRef:
+                name: mastra-secrets
+          resources:
+            requests:
+              cpu: 250m
+              memory: 256Mi
+```
+
+Use `MASTRA_WORKERS: scheduler` and `MASTRA_WORKERS: backgroundTasks` for the other worker Deployments. Set `MASTRA_WORKERS: 'false'` on the API Deployment and expose the API with a Service. Give every process access to the same database and PubSub backend. Configure the API auth provider with a worker token, then expose that token to the orchestration worker as `MASTRA_WORKER_AUTH_TOKEN`. See [Deploy Mastra to Kubernetes](https://mastra.ai/integrations/deploy/kubernetes) for the base Kubernetes resources.
+
+Apply the manifests, then verify the pods and API:
+
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f k8s/
+kubectl get pods
+kubectl port-forward svc/api 4111:4111
+```
+
+In a separate terminal, request an API route:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:4111/api/agents
+```
+
+### Step execution URL
+
+In a fully split deployment, the orchestration worker delegates workflow step execution to the API over HTTP. Set `MASTRA_STEP_EXECUTION_URL` to the API's internal URL, including the `/api` prefix:
+
+```bash
+MASTRA_STEP_EXECUTION_URL=http://api:4111/api
+```
+
+Without this variable, the orchestration worker attempts to execute steps in its own process, which doesn't have access to the full Mastra runtime in a split deployment.
+
+The endpoint uses the server's normal auth pipeline. If the API has an auth provider, set `MASTRA_WORKER_AUTH_TOKEN` to a bearer token that provider accepts. Mastra forwards the value as an `Authorization: Bearer` credential. The configured auth provider validates the token. See [Worker authentication](https://mastra.ai/docs/auth/workers) for server configuration and other credential formats.
+
+### Scale workers
+
+The orchestration and background task workers can scale horizontally. PubSub consumer groups distribute events across their instances:
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d --scale orchestration-worker=3
+docker compose up -d --scale background-task-worker=2
+```
+
+For Kubernetes, change the Deployment replica count manually or use a HorizontalPodAutoscaler:
+
+```bash
+kubectl scale deployment/orchestration-worker --replicas=3
+kubectl scale deployment/background-task-worker --replicas=2
+```
+
+Run exactly one scheduler worker. Multiple schedulers polling the same storage can publish duplicate events for a schedule.
+
+### Health checks
+
+Worker build artifacts expose `GET /health` on `PORT`, or port `4111` when `PORT` isn't set. The endpoint returns `503` while `startWorkers()` is initializing and `200` after every selected worker starts successfully. Use this endpoint for deployment readiness checks. If you also use it for liveness checks, configure a startup probe or an initial delay that allows worker initialization to finish.
+
+### Crash recovery
+
+A distributed PubSub backend persists unacknowledged events, which lets orchestration and background task workers resume after a restart. When the API is unavailable, a failed step-execution request causes the event to be delivered again. Because an event can be processed more than once, handlers should be idempotent when possible.
+
+The scheduler calculates the next fire time from the current time after it restarts. It doesn't replay schedules that elapsed while it was unavailable.
+
+If the API crashes while a step is executing, that work can be lost and the workflow run can remain in a `running` state. See [known limitations](#known-limitations) and [durable agent crash recovery](https://mastra.ai/docs/harness/durable-agents).
+
+## Known limitations
+
+- **No dead-letter queue**: Failed events are nacked and retried, but there's no DLQ for events that fail after all retries.
+- **Scheduler is single-instance**: Running multiple scheduler processes causes duplicate schedule fires.
+- **Runs stuck in "running" after API crash**: A crash during workflow-step execution leaves the run in `running` status without an automatic retry. For [durable agents](https://mastra.ai/docs/harness/durable-agents), configure `recovery.durableAgents: 'auto'` so a server restart automatically re-drives orphaned runs. See [Crash recovery](https://mastra.ai/docs/harness/durable-agents) for details.
