👋 Hi, I'm Ed Parsadanyan! Since 2021, I've helped dozens of clients set up reliable n8n instances. I've also co-authored 35+ in-depth guides and tutorials about n8n. Finally, I've created some of the most popular community workflow templates. Now, I'm showing others how to run n8n in production using straightforward, single-server setups that just work - no cloud complexity needed.
Want to see exactly what mistakes we'll fix?
Mistake #1:
Running with the default SQLite database in production
Your perfectly working automations suddenly start failing during peak business hours
Mistake #2:
Relying on simple file-copy backups
You confidently store backup files for months, only to find they're corrupted when you need them
Mistake #3:
Running workflows without proper error monitoring
Your automation silently fails for days until clients report that "nothing is working"
Mistake #4:
Managing workflow backups through manual exports
Someone accidentally overwrites your most complex workflow, and your only backup is three months old
Mistake #5:
Building workflows that depend entirely on external services
You switched from Zapier to gain independence, but ended up chained to ten external APIs
