How to deploy n8n on Azure App Service and leverage the benefits provided by Azure.
Hi Gabriel,
I did the same setup on my end in order to test N8N and it works great.
The only difference is I am using the default DB and I am using the Azure Files mount which seems to work fine.
Although I am still testing, I haven't noticed any performance issues or file locking issues like some comments I seem to have read.
Do you assume or expect it is something that can or will happen if I go this route for production?
Also, what about Scaling Out? I know N8N has its own way to support multiple instances (workers) but I was wondering if you guys thought or came up of a way to make use/benefit of the Azure Web App Scale Out feature.
I know I can scale up easily, but scaling out would also be an added benefit, if it worked off the bat.
Thanks for the great doc.
Hi, I'm glad my post was useful and helpful. Regarding your question, for production environments you can effectively use horizontal and vertical scaling. Remember that this will depend on the plan you're using. Also, regarding the scaling model, I'm currently testing Container Apps, which also works wonderfully. It offers the scalability you mentioned, both vertically and horizontally, and, above all, is much more economical. I'll be writing a post with this configuration soon.
