How it works

01

The problem

A self-hosted n8n without backups, updates, or monitoring becomes a risk.

Step by step

  1. 01Deploy. n8n created in your account.
  2. 02Harden. Access, secrets, backups.
  3. 03Scale. Queue mode with workers.
  4. 04Monitor. Errors and uptime alerted.Human checkpoint

Tools and control

02

Connects

  • n8n
  • Docker
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis
  • Grafana

Built on n8n. Equivalent tools can be swapped in.

Human control

A person stays in control at the "Monitor" step. Everything else runs on rules you agree, with every run logged.
