The n8n production readiness checklist

You built it on n8n, and it works. The next step is the hard one: getting it into production, and scaling it there, with security, compliance, and governance all signed off. Go through 25 checks across six risk areas, and get a personalized readiness assessment when you're done.

Answer for the instance you actually run, not the one you are planning.

What changes on Tray

  • A managed runtime that Tray patches and monitors, so the next CVE isn't your fire drill.
  • SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 audited, with RBAC, audit, and log streaming standard, not tier-gated.
  • Governance over every agent and MCP call, built into the platform.
  • A managed runtime that scales with volume, so it grows without dropping records or re-architecting.
  • A contractual SLA and enterprise support, standard.

The "managed runtime" item above exists because someone has to notice each advisory first — our n8n security tracker lists every one since December 2025 and checks the version you run against it. This checklist exists because of what happens when the checks above go unanswered — see why n8n loses records at scale. Tray isn't the only place teams land once they've scored themselves, either. See the full n8n alternatives roundup or a direct comparison with n8n for how it stacks up against everything else on this list.
