| # Scaling n8n | |
| When running n8n at scale, with a large number of users, workflows, or executions, you need to change your n8n configuration to ensure good performance. | |
| n8n can run in different [modes](/hosting/scaling/queue-mode.md) depending on your needs. The `queue` mode provides the best scalability. Refer to [Queue mode](/hosting/scaling/queue-mode.md) for configuration details. | |
| You can configure data saving and pruning to improve database performance. Refer to [Execution data](/hosting/scaling/execution-data.md) for details. | |
