People who connect tools
Webhooks and integrations between the services you already use, without writing a backend.
Template · Automation
n8n, live in minutes.
A visual workflow editor, webhooks and JavaScript and Python code, with managed Postgres and the option to scale with workers. Vertra launches, protects and updates it.
You sign in and come straight back to the wizard.
What it is
Integrations and automations, in a visual editor.
n8n connects services to each other through workflows: a webhook receives an event, a node transforms the data and another sends the result. In this template it runs with the database of your choice, a Code node in JavaScript and in Python, and community nodes.
Who it is for
For anyone who automates without assembling a server.
From the first workflow to queued processing.
People who need code when a node is not enough
The Code node runs JavaScript and Python, with a safe list of modules and the option to allow them all.
People who grow
Start simple and move to queue mode: the editor hands each execution to a worker, through Redis, and heavy work stays isolated.
What comes ready
Editor, database and extras set up.
What the wizard sets up for you.
Database of your choice
Managed Postgres (the default), internal SQLite to start light, or queue mode with a worker, Postgres and Redis.
JavaScript and Python code
The Code node runs both languages inside the same app, with safe modules by default.
Community nodes
Install from the editor. Packages survive restarts and updates and, in queue mode, reach the workers too.
Optional email (SMTP)
User invitations and password resets through your mail server.
Execution retention
History is cleaned after 7 days or 5,000 executions, so the database and the disk do not fill up.
Encrypted credentials
The credentials of your workflows are encrypted with a key generated at creation.
What Vertra takes care of
You use it. Vertra handles the rest.
What applies to every catalog template.
Updates you can roll back
When a new version comes out, you choose when to update. Vertra takes a snapshot first and, if something goes wrong, you go back to the previous version with your data.
Backups
Snapshots of the app disk, like any Vertra app, according to your plan.
HTTPS
The subdomain is published from the start with a valid certificate. Custom domain, on plans that include it.
Generated secrets
Passwords, tokens and encryption keys are generated at creation and shown once, at the end of the wizard. No loose plain-text secret in the template.
Requirements
What you need to have.
The numbers come from the Vertra catalog and follow the current plans.
The exact requirements show in the wizard, before you create anything.
- Memory and plan depend on the mode you pick: with managed Postgres the template creates n8n and the database; in queue mode, also the worker and Redis.
- The template runs from a Docker image and takes one image slot of your plan.
- Keep a copy of the encryption key shown at the end: without it there is no way to read the credentials of a backup.
- n8n is distributed under the Sustainable Use License. Read the license before offering n8n to third parties.
Walkthrough
From click to live app.
Choose how to run
In the wizard, choose the mode (managed Postgres, SQLite or queue with a worker), the time zone and, if you like, the mail server.
Wait for the creation
Vertra creates n8n and the services of the chosen mode, already connected. The first boot migrates the database and takes under a minute.
Create the owner account
Open the app address and create the n8n owner account.
Build the first workflow
In a Code node, pick JavaScript or Python (Native). For community nodes, use Settings.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Which mode should I choose?
For most people, managed Postgres. SQLite is for tests or light workflows. Queue mode is for heavy executions or many in parallel.
Does the Code node really run Python?
Yes, Python 3.13, in the same app. By default only data and text modules; you can allow them all in the app variables.
What is the encryption key?
It is the key that encrypts the credentials of your workflows. Vertra generates it at creation. Keep a copy: without it, the credentials of a backup are unreadable.
Can I offer n8n to customers?
Read n8n's Sustainable Use License first: it allows internal business use and personal or non-commercial use.
Is my data kept when I update?
Yes. Workflows live in the template's database. The update takes a snapshot first and rolling back brings the data along.
