## Documentation

# Deploy and Host n8n (w/ workers + webhook processor) on Railway

n8n is a self-hosted workflow automation platform. This template gives webhooks their own service next to the workers, so webhook traffic and heavy workflows don't slow down your editor. The database and Redis stay off the public internet.

## About Hosting n8n (w/ workers + webhook processor)

Queue mode needs five services wired together with shared secrets and private networking. This template sets it all up. Deploy, open the Primary service's URL, and create your account.

## Common Use Cases

- High-volume webhook integrations
- Long-running workflows: data syncs, ETL, reports
- AI agents connected to your tools and APIs

## Dependencies for n8n (w/ workers + webhook processor) Hosting

- PostgreSQL
- Redis

### Deployment Dependencies

- [n8n queue mode docs](https://docs.n8n.io/deploy/host-n8n/configure-n8n/scaling/enable-queue-mode)

### Implementation Details

![Architecture: Primary and Webhook processor have public URLs; Redis, Workers and Postgres stay on the private network](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/mikedepo/railway-template-assets@c5ac20451629bcb80a0092ff15b11e69201e11c1/n8n-queue-mode/architecture.png)

Add Worker replicas to handle more load. Passwords and the encryption key are generated for each deployment. Back up `N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY`: your saved credentials can't be decrypted without it.

## Why Deploy n8n (w/ workers + webhook processor) on Railway?


Railway is a singular platform to deploy your infrastructure stack. Railway will host your infrastructure so you don't have to deal with configuration, while allowing you to vertically and horizontally scale it.

By deploying n8n (w/ workers + webhook processor) on Railway, you are one step closer to supporting a complete full-stack application with minimal burden. Host your servers, databases, AI agents, and more on Railway.


**Updated 2026-10-26:** official Redis image, unique secrets per deployment, PostgreSQL 18.
