Fork one cluster worker per CPU core, multiplied by [IMQServiceOptions.childrenPerCore](https://imqueue.org/api/rpc/latest/rpc.imqserviceoptions.childrenpercore/).

**Signature:**

```typescript
multiProcess: boolean;
```

## Default Value

false

## Remarks

The cluster primary also starts its own queue consumer and metrics listener after forking, so a service configured for N workers runs N+1 consumers. Workers are never respawned: when one dies the whole process exits with code 1, leaving supervision to the process manager.
