Worker Process Count

When NotifyBC runs on a node with multiple CPUs, by default it creates a cluster of worker processes of which the count matches CPU count. You can override the number with the environment variable NOTIFYBC_WORKER_PROCESS_COUNT.

A note about worker process count on OpenShift

It has been observed that on OpenShift Node.js returns incorrect CPU count. The template therefore sets NOTIFYBC_WORKER_PROCESS_COUNT to 1. After all, on OpenShift NotifyBC is expected to be horizontally scaled by pods rather by CPUs.
