Deploy and Host n8n Production Starter with Workers on Railway

Deploy a production-ready n8n setup on Railway with queue mode, dedicated workers, Redis, and PostgreSQL. Built from a real-world production setup designed for reliable workflow execution, AI automations, and scalable background jobs.

About Hosting n8n Production Starter with Workers

This template runs n8n as a multi-service architecture optimized for production workloads.

The main service handles the web UI, authentication, API requests, webhooks, and workflow orchestration.

The worker service executes workflows independently by pulling jobs from a Redis queue.

Redis is used for queue coordination, while PostgreSQL stores workflows, credentials, and execution data.

This separation allows the system to scale horizontally without blocking the main interface.

Common Use Cases

AI agents and workflow orchestration
webhook processing at scale
ETL and system integrations
scheduled jobs and recurring automations
monitoring and alerting workflows
