Heroku procfile multiple workers

Question

I have two different workers that I would like to run alongside my web app in Heroku.

I currently have the following in the procfile:

web: gunicorn project:app
worker: python project/worker/worker.py
worker: python project/worker/processor.py

but it only runs the web and the last worker processor as those are the only ones I can see under dynos. What am I doing wrong?

Use unique names for each of your worker process-types, e.g:

web: gunicorn project:app
worker: python project/worker/worker.py
processor: python project/worker/processor.py

ahhh thanks! I thought "worker" and "web" were specific things! – Simon Nicholls Oct 22 '18 at 09:37

only 'web' is special, the other processes can be called anything. – John Beynon Oct 22 '18 at 10:40
