AWS Orchestration
Enterprise-grade infrastructure for production automation workloads.
Why AWS?
While Pure Logic Studio can deploy n8n to any cloud provider or on-premises infrastructure, we have deep expertise in AWS orchestration. AWS provides the reliability, security, and performance characteristics that production automation systems demand.
Our AWS deployments are battle-tested, cost-optimized, and designed for the specific requirements of workflow automation at scale.
Our AWS Architecture Stack
EC2 Compute
We deploy n8n on EC2 instances sized for your workload—typically t3.medium or t3.large for most mid-market operations. Auto-scaling groups for high-availability deployments.
t3.medium: ~$30/mo
RDS PostgreSQL
Managed PostgreSQL databases for n8n's execution data and workflow definitions. Automated backups, point-in-time recovery, and Multi-AZ for production environments.
db.t3.micro: ~$15/mo
ElastiCache Redis
Redis for n8n's queue management and caching layer. Essential for handling high-volume workflow execution with low latency.
cache.t3.micro: ~$12/mo
VPC & Networking
Private VPCs with public/private subnets, security groups, and NACLs. Application Load Balancers for HTTPS termination and SSL/TLS encryption.
ALB: ~$16/mo
Secrets Manager
API keys, database credentials, and integration tokens stored in AWS Secrets Manager. Automatic rotation, encryption at rest, and IAM-based access control.
~$1/secret/mo
CloudWatch Monitoring
Comprehensive logging, metrics, and alarms. We monitor CPU, memory, disk I/O, network throughput, and application-level metrics for proactive issue detection.
Logs & metrics included
Typical Total AWS Cost: $60-80/month for standard mid-market deployment
(vs $300-2000/mo for equivalent Zapier/Make plans with execution limits)
Infrastructure as Code
All our AWS deployments are provisioned using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles. This ensures repeatability, version control, and disaster recovery capabilities.
Terraform for Provisioning
We use Terraform to define and provision all AWS resources. Your entire infrastructure is versioned, auditable, and can be replicated across environments (dev, staging, prod).
Ansible for Configuration
Application configuration, n8n installation, and service management handled via Ansible playbooks. Ensures consistent deployments and simplifies updates.
GitOps Workflow
Infrastructure changes are code-reviewed, tested in staging, and deployed via CI/CD pipelines. Full audit trail of who changed what and when.
Security & Compliance
Network Isolation
n8n instances run in private subnets with no direct internet access. All external communication is routed through NAT gateways. Only the load balancer is publicly accessible.
Encryption Everywhere
TLS 1.3 for data in transit. AES-256 encryption at rest for RDS, ElastiCache, and EBS volumes. All managed via AWS KMS with customer-managed keys available.
IAM Best Practices
Principle of least privilege for all service accounts. MFA enforcement for human access. Instance profiles for EC2 with scoped permissions. No long-lived credentials.
Compliance-Ready
Our AWS architectures support SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance requirements. AWS Config for compliance monitoring and AWS CloudTrail for audit logging.
High Availability & Disaster Recovery
Multi-AZ Deployment
For production workloads, we deploy across multiple Availability Zones with automated failover. RDS Multi-AZ for database redundancy, and ElastiCache cluster mode for cache replication.
Automated Backups
Daily RDS snapshots with 7-30 day retention. Point-in-time recovery for databases. Workflow definitions and credentials backed up to S3 with versioning enabled.
Health Checks & Auto-Recovery
ALB health checks monitor application status. EC2 auto-recovery for instance failures. CloudWatch alarms trigger automated remediation or escalation to on-call engineers.
Cost Optimization Strategies
Reserved Instances: For predictable workloads, we recommend 1-year reserved instances for EC2 and RDS, saving 30-40% compared to on-demand pricing.
Right-Sizing: We monitor resource utilization and recommend instance downgrades when workloads don't justify current sizing. Most clients over-provision by 40-60% initially.
S3 Lifecycle Policies: Automated archival of old execution logs to Glacier reduces storage costs by 90% after 30-90 days.
Spot Instances: For non-critical batch processing workflows, we can leverage spot instances for 70-90% cost savings on compute.
