Deploy and Host Self-Hosted n8n with Webhook Processors on Railway

n8n is an extensible, self-hosted workflow automation platform designed for teams and developers who want full control over their automation stack. Built with a fair-code model, n8n keeps its source code visible, supports self-hosting by default, and allows you to create powerful workflows using custom logic, scripts, and integrations.

With its node-based visual editor, n8n makes it easy to connect APIs, services, and internal systems—turning events into automated actions without locking you into a closed ecosystem.

About Hosting n8n with Webhook Processors

Hosting n8n with dedicated webhook processors means running a production-ready automation system that can reliably receive, route, and process incoming HTTP webhooks at scale.

In this architecture, webhook traffic is handled by a dedicated service responsible for exposing public endpoints and accepting incoming events. These events are then queued and processed asynchronously by n8n workers, ensuring better performance, isolation, and scalability compared to single-instance deployments.

A proper production setup must handle:

Stable public webhook URLs
Concurrent webhook traffic
Workflow execution state and persistence
Reliable queue-based processing
Safe separation between UI, webhook intake, and execution workers

Railway simplifies all of this by providing managed networking, environment configuration, service isolation, and easy scaling—without forcing you to manage servers manually.

Common Use Cases

Webhook-Driven Automation Receive webhooks from external systems (payment gateways, SaaS tools, internal apps) and trigger automated workflows instantly.

API Integration Workflows Connect multiple APIs and services using n8n’s visual workflow editor to synchronize data, enrich events, or orchestrate complex processes.

Event-Driven Processing Build workflows that respond to real-time events and process data through custom logic, scripts, and integrations.
