Can n8n start multiple instances and share a database?

I want to deploy an n8n cluster. There are many tasks, and I am afraid that only one node is not enough.

If you just start multiple regular n8n instances you could potentially have duplication of work.

The best way to scale n8n is described in our docs here: Overview - n8n Documentation

There is also a recording from a livestream that explains how this works: How to scale your n8n instance 🗻 - YouTube

I hope these resources can help you better understand how to scale n8n. Feel free to ask any other questions you might have
