Hello Railway Support,

I’m experiencing major performance issues with my n8n instance. Here are the details:

  • Issue: My n8n workflows are very slow especially when i try to make automations handels large files , just downloading it , uploading it to another service , with long delays in both automation and file processing.

  • What I tried: I upgraded my account to the Pro Plan to unlock maximum resources, and I have assigned the full available limits (32 vCPU, 32GB RAM) to the Worker service, make sure that all my " nodes " is in the same country.

  • Observation: Despite this, performance is still very slow, even though usage graphs show I am far below the max limits of the plan.

  • Expectation: I expected the Pro Plan to allow n8n to run much faster, especially when handling large files or concurrent workflows.

  • Request:

    1. Please help me diagnose the cause of this slowness.

    2. Is there any hidden bottleneck or config limitation I should be aware of (e.g., internal throttling, disk I/O, or DB connection limits)?

    3. Can you review my actual usage versus my plan’s advertised features and limits, and let me know if I am missing anything?

    4. If there’s a way to further optimize or scale n8n performance, please advise.

Attached are screenshots showing my resource allocation and usage and my setup

Hey there,

We can't investigate issues related to templates or the performance of N8N it's self., you can contact the author of the template on this thread: https://station.railway.com/templates/n8n-queue-mode-by-anton-lvovych-a08b36c7
