[Question] Channels / Channel capacity vs. Odoo workers

[fortee]

First of all the queue_job is fantastic, hats off, and thank you for all the work you have put into it!

I would like to ask for some help to better understand the relationship between the defined channels and channel capacity and default Odoo workers.
I'm planning to start using the queue_job with the following configuration:

[queue_job]
channels = root:6,A:2,B:2,C:2:throttle=1

Until now (without the queue_job being used) my Odoo servers worker setting was 6.

I would like to know:

• If the queue_job job runners will "eat up" normal Odoo workes or it spawns their own separate workers.
• How to calculate the amount of extra Odoo workers I need if those are used by the queue_job module

Queue job will use regular workers. It will not spawn its own.

How to calculate the amount of extra Odoo workers I need if those are used by the queue_job module

You need one worker per root channel (6 in your case), plus as much as you need for regular interactive users.

Thank you for the answer!
