The command celery worker -A proj --autoscale=10,1 --loglevel=info
starts workers with auto scaling.
When creating workers with multi,
me@mypc:~/projects/x$ celery multi start myworker --autoscale=10,1
celery multi v4.1.0 (latentcall)
> Starting nodes...
> myworker@mypc: OK
me@mypc:~/projects/kate$ celery multi show myworker
/home/me/.virtualenvs/kate/bin/python2.7 -m celery worker --detach -n myworker@mypc --pidfile=myworker.pid --logfile=myworker%I.log --executable=/home/me/.virtualenvs/x/bin/python2.7
How do I enable multi to autoscale?

Autoscaling will start new processes when the work load increases. In your case you have set the min number to 1, so you will only see 1 process, unless you start putting more tasks onto your queues. You can change the way the autoscaler works. See the link below for more details:
