Hi Railway Support,
My N8N setup on Railway has stopped executing workflows. The Primary service loads normally, but the Worker service is not processing any jobs.
In the Worker/Primary logs I repeatedly see:
MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected
And PostgreSQL logs show frequent checkpoint messages, but no actual execution logs from the Worker.
It looks like the Worker is either stuck, failing to connect to the queue, or restarting without attaching listeners correctly. Because of this my workflows are not running at all.
Could you please check:
Whether the Worker container is restarting or failing silently
Whether the queue (Redis) connections are healthy
Whether there is any issue with event listeners or background job processing on Railway
If any resource limit is causing the Worker to be terminated or paused
My application worked earlier, but after this warning started appearing, workflow execution stopped completely.
Please let me know what is causing the Worker to fail and what configuration changes I need to make.
Thank you!
