[![Deploy on Railway](https://railway.com/button.svg)](https://railway.com/template/a_pour?referralCode=4pD7Sc)

This Railway template sets up a robust automation platform using:
1. n8n: Low-code automation tool with a visual workflow editor.

2. Worker: Handles background tasks, allowing for horizontal scaling.

3. PostgreSQL: Primary database for storing workflows, executions, and credentials.

4. Redis: Acts as a message broker between the main instance and workers.

5. Webhook: Public URL endpoint for triggering workflows.

6. Backup to Google Drive: Scheduled n8n workflow to back up workflows to Google Drive.

Ideal for:
1. Automating business logic.

2. Integrating APIs.

3. Creating no-code workflows.

4. Ensuring regular backups to Google Drive.
