Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing severe performance issues with a large n8n workflow and wondering if anyone has similar experiences or solutions.
Setup:
- Workflow with ~50 nodes (including ~20 HTTP nodes)
- Running on Oracle Cloud AM1 instance (4 cores, 24GB RAM)
Problem: The workflow editor is extremely laggy. Simple actions like typing comments in Sticky Notes take 5+ seconds to register. The UI is nearly unusable.
Question: Is this typical behavior for workflows of this size? Are there any optimization strategies or configuration changes that could help improve editor performance?
I had workflows that had more nodes but werent as laggy.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
