## Documentation

# Deploy and Host n8n with workers (1-click) on Railway

n8n is a self-hosted workflow automation platform. This template runs your workflows on workers, keeps Postgres and Redis off the public internet, and pins a tested n8n version, so a new major release never reaches you untested.

![n8n with workers on Railway](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/mikedepo/railway-template-assets@8dca997505e255dd5ff358d557d570e1270496c1/n8n-workers/banner.png)

## About Hosting n8n with workers (1-click)

You get four services: Primary (editor, API and webhooks), Worker, Redis and Postgres, with passwords and the encryption key generated for each deployment. It uses about 0.8 GB of memory at idle. Deploy, open the Primary service's URL, and create your account.

## Common Use Cases

- Webhook and API integrations
- Scheduled data syncs and reports
- AI agents connected to your tools

## Dependencies for n8n with workers (1-click) 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: only Primary has a public URL; Redis, Worker and Postgres stay on the private network](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/mikedepo/railway-template-assets@8dca997505e255dd5ff358d557d570e1270496c1/n8n-workers/architecture.png)

Add Worker replicas to handle more load. To upgrade n8n, change the image tag on Primary and Worker together. Back up `N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY`: your saved credentials can't be decrypted without it.

## Why Deploy n8n with workers (1-click) on Railway?
