+# ComfyUI PyWorker
+
+This is the base PyWorker for ComfyUI. It provides a unified interface for running any ComfyUI workflow through a proxy-based architecture.
+
+The cost for each request has a static value of `1`.  ComfyUI does not handle concurrent workloads and there is no current provision to load multiple instances of ComfyUI per worker node.
+
+## Requirements
+
+This worker requires both [ComfyUI](https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI) and [ComfyUI API Wrapper](https://github.com/ai-dock/comfyui-api-wrapper).
+
+A docker image is provided but you may use any if the above requirements are met.
+
+## Benchmarking
+
+A simple image generation benchmark runs when each worker initializes to validate GPU performance and identify underperforming machines.
+
+The benchmark uses Stable Diffusion v1.5 with ComfyUI's default text-to-image workflow. Configure the benchmark complexity and duration using these variables:
+
+| Environment Variable | Default Value | Description |
+| -------------------- | ------------- | ----------- |
+| BENCHMARK_TEST_WIDTH | 512 | Image width (pixels) |
+| BENCHMARK_TEST_HEIGHT | 512 | Image height (pixels) |
+| BENCHMARK_TEST_STEPS | 20 | Number of denoising steps |
+
+Each benchmark run uses a random prompt from `misc/test_prompts.txt` and a random seed to ensure consistent GPU load patterns.
+
+### Calibrating Benchmark Duration
+
+To screen for underperforming hardware, set `BENCHMARK_TEST_STEPS` to match your expected production workflow duration. This allows you to identify machines that won't meet performance requirements.
+
+**Example:** If your typical workflow should complete in 90 seconds on acceptable hardware:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Measure it/sec on your reference machine
+# RTX 4090 typically achieves ~43 it/sec with SD1.5
+
+# 2. Calculate required steps
+# 90 seconds × 43 it/sec = 3870 steps
+
+# 3. Configure benchmark
+export BENCHMARK_TEST_STEPS=3870
+
+# 4. Machines completing significantly slower than 90s indicate hardware issues
+```
+
+**Performance expectations:**
+- Benchmark duration should remain consistent across identical GPU models
+- Significant variation (>20%) may indicate thermal, power, or configuration issues
+
+## Endpoint
+
+The worker provides a single endpoint:
+
+- `/generate/sync`: Processes ComfyUI workflows using either predefined modifiers or custom workflow JSON
+
+## Request Format
+
+The worker accepts requests in the following format. Choose either modifier mode OR custom workflow mode:
+
+**Modifier Mode:**
+```json
+{
+  "input": {
+    "request_id": "uuid-string",    // optional - UUID generated if not provided
+    "modifier": "RawWorkflow",
+    "modifications": {
+      "prompt": "a beautiful landscape",
+      "width": 1024,
+      "height": 1024,
+      "steps": 20,
+      "seed": 123456789
+    },
+    "s3": { ... },       // optional
+    "webhook": { ... }   // optional
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Custom Workflow Mode:**
+```json
+{
+  "input": {
+    "request_id": "uuid-string",    // optional - UUID generated if not provided
+    "workflow_json": {
+      // Complete ComfyUI workflow JSON
+    },
+    "s3": { ... },       // optional
+    "webhook": { ... }   // optional
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Request Fields
+
+### Required Fields
+
+- **`input`**: Contains the main workflow data
+- **`input.request_id`**: Unique identifier for the request
+
+### Workflow Mode (Choose One)
+
+You must provide either `modifier` OR `workflow_json`, but not both:
+
+#### Option 1: Modifier Mode
+- **`input.modifier`**: Name of the predefined workflow modifier (e.g., "Text2Image")
+- **`input.modifications`**: Parameters to pass to the modifier
+
+#### Option 2: Custom Workflow Mode  
+- **`input.workflow_json`**: Complete ComfyUI workflow JSON
+
+### Optional Fields
+
+- **`input.s3`**: S3 configuration for file storage
+- **`input.webhook`**: Webhook configuration for notifications
+
+These configurations can be provided in the request JSON or via environment variables. Request-level configuration takes precedence over environment variables.
+
+#### S3 Configuration
+
+**Via Request JSON:**
+```json
+"s3": {
+  "access_key_id": "your-s3-access-key",
+  "secret_access_key": "your-s3-secret-access-key", 
+  "endpoint_url": "https://my-endpoint.backblaze.com",
+  "bucket_name": "your-bucket",
+  "region": "us-east-1"
+}
+```
+
+**Via Environment Variables:**
+```bash
+S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-key
+S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-secret
+S3_BUCKET_NAME=your-bucket
+S3_ENDPOINT_URL=https://s3.amazonaws.com
+S3_REGION=us-east-1
+```
+
+#### Webhook Configuration
+
+**Via Request JSON:**
+```json
+"webhook": {
+  "url": "your-webhook-url",
+  "extra_params": {
+    "custom_field": "value"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Via Environment Variables:**
+```bash
+WEBHOOK_URL=https://your-webhook.com  # Default webhook URL
+WEBHOOK_TIMEOUT=30                   # Webhook timeout in seconds
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Basic Text-to-Image (Modifier Mode)
+
+```json
+{
+  "input": {
+    "modifier": "Text2Image",
+    "modifications": {
+      "prompt": "a cat sitting on a windowsill",
+      "width": 512,
+      "height": 512,
+      "steps": 20,
+      "seed": 42
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Custom Workflow Mode
+
+```json
+{
+  "input": {
+    "request_id": "67890",    // optional - using custom ID for tracking
+    "workflow_json": {
+      "3": {
+        "inputs": {
+          "seed": 42,
+          "steps": 20,
+          "cfg": 8,
+          "sampler_name": "euler",
+          "scheduler": "normal",
+          "denoise": 1,
+          "model": ["4", 0],
+          "positive": ["6", 0],
+          "negative": ["7", 0],
+          "latent_image": ["5", 0]
+        },
+        "class_type": "KSampler"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
