## What it is
Official hosting configurations and deployment examples for self-hosting the n8n workflow automation platform. It provides Helm charts, Docker Compose files, and AWS CloudFormation templates covering setups from single instances to scaled queue-mode deployments.

## Use cases
- self-host n8n with docker compose
- deploy n8n on kubernetes with helm
- run n8n in queue mode with workers and redis
- deploy n8n to aws ecs fargate with cloudformation
- serve n8n behind an ssl reverse proxy in a subfolder
- configure postgresql as the n8n database

## When to choose
- you want to self-host n8n using official, maintained deployment configs
- you need a production-grade kubernetes helm chart for n8n
- you want scaled queue-mode deployments with workers, redis, and postgres
- you deploy on aws and want an ecs fargate reference architecture

## When to avoid
- you want the n8n application source code itself (use n8n-io/n8n)
- you use mysql or mariadb as your n8n backend (unsupported)
- you need a managed n8n service rather than self-hosting
- you deploy on platforms with no provided template and cannot adapt configs
