n8n (queue mode)
Verified4 services
n8n, the fair-code workflow automation tool — running in queue mode with a dedicated worker, so webhooks keep answering while workflows run in the background.
| Runs | 4 services |
|---|---|
| Stack | n8nn8n-workern8n-dbn8n-redis |
| Provisioned for it | Nothing, it's self-contained |
| Verified | Yes, deployed end to end by the Railyard team |
Why deploy on Railyard
Railyard provisions all 4 services in this stack together — n8n, n8n-worker, n8n-db, n8n-redis — wired to reach each other over the private network, on a server you already pay for.
Deploying n8n (queue mode) is one piece of a bigger stack you can keep building — add a database, a worker, a cache, or another app, all on the same servers you already pay for.
Good for
- High-volume workflow automation where webhooks must keep answering while long jobs run in the background
- Production n8n beyond what a single container can handle
Good to know
- N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY is generated once and shared between web and worker automatically — nothing to copy by hand
- Workflow and credential data live on one volume mounted only on the web service, matching n8n's own queue-mode guide
