+This will stop the main process sending push notifications.
+The workers responsible for sending push notifications can be defined using the

pusher_instances:

+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.
