Issue: My n8n service project is consuming excessive memory (8GB+) and has crashed. The service is unable to restart, and my Postgres database is stuck in recovery mode.
Error Details:
- n8n service crashed due to memory exhaustion
- Postgres database shows "the database system is in recovery mode" and "not yet accepting connections"
- Service restart attempts fail due to memory constraints
- Railway CLI authentication issues preventing manual intervention
Root Cause:
- n8n workflow had an infinite loop
- This created endless processing that consumed all available memory
- The infinite loop has been identified and fixed in the workflow, but the service needs to be restarted.
Request:
- Need assistance restarting the n8n service to clear memory and stop the infinite loop
- Postgres database may need to be restarted as well to exit recovery mode
- Service should work normally once restarted with the corrected workflow
Services affected: n8n (Primary) and Postgres
