Discover the breaking points of n8n automation platform through comprehensive stress testing across AWS C5.large and C5.4xlarge instances in both Single mode and Queue mode configurations. Learn how n8n performs under extreme load conditions by examining three critical benchmarking scenarios: single webhook flows triggered repeatedly, 10 parallel workflows running simultaneously, and large binary file uploads with processing. Follow along as the testing scales from 3 to 200 virtual users while measuring key performance metrics including requests per second, average response times, and failure rates under increasing pressure. Explore the complete testing methodology using K6 for load testing, Beszel for real-time resource monitoring, and n8n's own benchmarking workflows to automate the process and visualize performance data over time. Understand exactly where n8n's performance degrades and identify the specific thresholds where the platform begins to fail, providing valuable insights for both individual developers and enterprise-level automation deployments. Access comprehensive resources including n8n's performance benchmarking guide, queue mode setup instructions, Docker installation procedures, and benchmark scripts to replicate these tests in your own environment.
