Use this page when you know the type of workflow problem but not the exact article title.

Begin with the main reliability pillar when the failure is unclear or crosses several systems.

Use the guardrail hub when an AI system can send, publish, modify, delete, pay or call tools with meaningful permissions.

Execution and delivery

  • Webhook accepted but workflow does not continue.
  • Workflow runs twice or creates duplicates.
  • 401 and 403 authentication failures.
  • Rate limits and 429 responses.
  • Retry safety and idempotency.
  • Timeout, resume and escalation decisions.

Data integrity

  • Test data passes but real data fails.
  • Missing, null and wrong-type values.
  • API schema changes and broken mappings.

AI reliability and guardrails

  • Invalid AI JSON or structured output.
  • Incorrect classification and uncertainty routing.
  • AI messages sent without approval.
  • Wrong tool selection.
  • Least privilege and high-risk approval patterns.

Self-Hosted n8n Keeps Crashing: What Evidence to Collect

" Operations and recovery A self-hosted workflow platform adds infrastructure failure modes to workflow failure modes. Changing container settings, database state and workflow logic at the same time makes diagnosis harder. Resolution rule Change one boundary at a time. Preserve the failing evidence, apply the smallest safe correction, then replay the known case and check the business effect as well as the technical run status. Contents What the symptom actually proves Evidence to collect before changing the workflow Likely failure paths Resolution sequence Prevention design Verify the fix Decision table Sources and scope What the symptom actually proves A self-hosted workflow platform adds infrastructure failure modes to workflow failure modes. Changing container settings, database state and workflow logic at the same time makes diagnosis harder. A useful diagnosis begins by separating what is directly observed from what is only suspected. Execution status, HTTP co...
