# Deploy and Host n8n v2 (Postgres + Redis + Workers) on Railway

**n8n v2 (Postgres + Redis + Workers)** is a distributed n8n setup using
Postgres for persistence, Redis for queue coordination, and workers for
scalable workflow execution.

---

## About Hosting n8n v2 (Postgres + Redis + Workers)

Hosting n8n v2 with Postgres, Redis, and workers enables a scalable and
production-ready workflow automation platform.  
This setup separates concerns by using Postgres for durable state,
Redis for queue-based execution, and one or more workers to process
workflows asynchronously.

It is well suited for environments with moderate to high execution
volume, concurrent workflows, or long-running tasks.  
Railway simplifies deployment by managing networking, secrets,
health checks, and scaling, allowing you to focus on building and
operating workflows instead of infrastructure.

---

## Common Use Cases

- Event-driven automations using webhooks and background processing
- Scheduled jobs and batch workflows with high concurrency
- API integrations and data synchronization pipelines
- Internal automation platforms for teams or organizations

---

## Dependencies for n8n v2 (Postgres + Redis + Workers) Hosting

- **Postgres** — persistent database for workflows, executions, and credentials
- **Redis** — queue backend for distributed workflow execution
- **n8n workers** — background processors for queued executions

### Deployment Dependencies

- n8n v2 Docker image  
  https://hub.docker.com/r/n8nio/n8n
- Redis (Railway managed service)
- Postgres (Railway managed service)
