n8n 性能优化与监控 - 提升工作流效率

在生产环境中，工作流的性能和稳定性至关重要。今天我们来学习如何优化 n8n 工作流的性能，并建立完善的监控体系。

性能优化策略

工作流设计优化

并行处理

// 优化前：串行处理
// API调用1 → API调用2 → API调用3 → 数据处理

// 优化后：并行处理
// API调用1 ↘
// API调用2 → 合并 → 数据处理
// API调用3 ↗

批量操作

// 批量处理优化
const BATCH_SIZE = 100;
const items = $input.all();
const batches = [];

for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i += BATCH_SIZE) {
  batches.push(items.slice(i, i + BATCH_SIZE));
}

const results = [];
for (const batch of batches) {
  const batchResult = await processBatch(batch);
  results.push(...batchResult);
  
  // 批次间延迟，避免API限制
  await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
}

return results.map(result => ({ json: result }));

数据库查询优化

// 查询优化示例
class DatabaseOptimizer {
  constructor(connection) {
    this.connection = connection;
    this.queryCache = new Map();
  }
  
  async optimizedQuery(sql, params, cacheKey) {
    // 查询缓存
    if (cacheKey && this.queryCache.has(cacheKey)) {
      const cached = this.queryCache.get(cacheKey);
      if (Date.now() - cached.timestamp < 300000) { // 5分钟缓存
        return cached.data;
      }
    }
    
    // 查询执行时间监控
    const startTime = Date.now();
    const result = await this.connection.query(sql, params);
    const duration = Date.now() - startTime;
    
    // 慢查询告警
    if (duration > 5000) {
      console.warn(`Slow query detected: ${duration}ms`, { sql, params });
    }
    
    // 缓存结果
    if (cacheKey) {
      this.queryCache.set(cacheKey, {
        data: result,
        timestamp: Date.now()
      });
    }
    
    return result;
  }
  
  async batchInsert(table, records, batchSize = 1000) {
    const results = [];
    
    for (let i = 0; i < records.length; i += batchSize) {
      const batch = records.slice(i, i + batchSize);
      const placeholders = batch.map(() => '(?)').join(',');
      const sql = `INSERT INTO ${table} VALUES ${placeholders}`;
      
      const result = await this.connection.query(sql, batch);
      results.push(result);
    }
    
    return results;
  }
}

监控系统实现

工作流执行监控

// 工作流监控类
class WorkflowMonitor {
  constructor() {
    this.metrics = {
      executions: 0,
      successes: 0,
      failures: 0,
      totalDuration: 0,
      avgDuration: 0
    };
    this.alerts = [];
  }
  
  startExecution(workflowId, executionId) {
    return {
      workflowId,
      executionId,
      startTime: Date.now(),
      
      finish: (status, error = null) => {
        const duration = Date.now() - this.startTime;
        this.recordExecution(workflowId, status, duration, error);
      }
    };
  }
  
  recordExecution(workflowId, status, duration, error) {
    this.metrics.executions++;
    this.metrics.totalDuration += duration;
    this.metrics.avgDuration = this.metrics.totalDuration / this.metrics.executions;
    
    if (status === 'success') {
      this.metrics.successes++;
    } else {
      this.metrics.failures++;
      this.handleFailure(workflowId, error, duration);
    }
    
    // 性能告警
    if (duration > 300000) { // 5分钟
      this.createAlert('performance', `Workflow ${workflowId} took ${duration}ms to complete`);
    }
    
    // 失败率告警
    const failureRate = this.metrics.failures / this.metrics.executions;
    if (failureRate > 0.1) { // 10%失败率
      this.createAlert('reliability', `High failure rate: ${(failureRate * 100).toFixed(1)}%`);
    }
  }
  
  createAlert(type, message) {

    };
    
    this.alerts.push(alert);
    this.sendAlert(alert);
  }
  
  getAlertSeverity(type) {
    const severityMap = {
      performance: 'warning',
      reliability: 'critical',
      resource: 'warning',
      security: 'critical'
    };
    return severityMap[type] || 'info';
  }
  
  async sendAlert(alert) {

    if (alert.severity === 'critical') {
      await this.sendSlackAlert(alert);
      await this.sendEmailAlert(alert);
    } else {

      failureRate: this.metrics.failures / this.metrics.executions,
      recentAlerts: this.alerts.slice(-10)
    };
  }
}

// 使用监控
const monitor = new WorkflowMonitor();
const execution = monitor.startExecution($workflow.id, $execution.id);

try {
  // 工作流逻辑
  const result = await processWorkflow();
  execution.finish('success');
  
  return [{ json: { success: true, result } }];
} catch (error) {

      memory: 0.8,    // 80%
      cpu: 0.7,       // 70%

      timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
    };
    
    // 检查阈值
    Object.entries(this.thresholds).forEach(([resource, threshold]) => {
      if (resources[resource].usage > threshold) {
        this.createResourceAlert(resource, resources[resource]);
      }
    });

      usage: loadAvg[0] / cpus.length,
      formatted: `${(loadAvg[0] / cpus.length * 100).toFixed(1)}%`
    };
  }
  
  async getDiskUsage() {
    const fs = require('fs');
    const stats = fs.statSync('/');
    
    // 简化的磁盘使用率计算
    return {
      usage: 0.5, // 实际应该通过系统调用获取
      formatted: '50%'
    };
  }
  
  createResourceAlert(resource, data) {
    const alert = {
      type: 'resource',
      resource,
      usage: data.usage,
      threshold: this.thresholds[resource],
      message: `${resource.toUpperCase()} usage (${(data.usage * 100).toFixed(1)}%) exceeds threshold (${(this.thresholds[resource] * 100).toFixed(1)}%)`,
