New customer to Railway here and trying to understand why our Postgres instance continues to spike disk resources with our n8n instance. We have only 3 active workflows. I can't fathom how it's taking up 10GB of space.
Are there any optimization settings to minimize disk usage for Postgres?

is this in the usage tab? that's incremental, so it might be right...I end up having huge amount of space/ram/cpu after a while...is the number in the metrics "normal"?

I think I found the issue – we have a workflow that crawls a 300+ page site. I added a few n8n variables to minimize logging.
I saw there are options to vacuum. Does Railway respect the env variables if I wanted to add autovacuum as config in the conf? Is there a better way to schedule this at off peak times?

Respect the env vars for a postgres service? Yes Railway does respect those.
As for scheduling this, you could in theory setup a microservice to do this but it would heavily depend on the project and geared outcome.
