Deploy and Host n8n (w/ workers + Task Runner) on Railway

n8n (w/ workers + Task Runner) is a ready-to-deploy Railway template that runs n8n with a main service, worker(s) for scalable workflow execution, and a dedicated external Task Runner service. It’s identical to the official “n8n with workers” template, with the addition of n8nio/runners, enabling isolated, reliable execution for Code node (JavaScript/Python).

About Hosting n8n (w/ workers + Task Runner)

This template deploys n8n on Railway with a production-ready setup: a main service (editor/API), worker service(s) that execute workflows, Redis for job queuing, PostgreSQL for storage, and an external Task Runner service (n8nio/runners). The extra Task Runner service provides a separate, managed runtime for the Code node, improving isolation and reliability for custom code without impacting the main editor. Railway provisions and manages the services so you can deploy quickly without manual configuration. As your workload grows, you can scale worker services for throughput and keep the editor responsive.

Common Use Cases

Safely running custom JavaScript/Python in the Code node with stronger isolation
Data pipelines that blend no-code connectors with custom logic or AI calls
High-volume automations where workers process jobs in parallel at scale
