Some of our community users had issues with n8n when running multiple instances.
Although not officially supported and not the way we recommend scaling n8n, it is a valid approach and this fix also covers a possible problem with our recommended scaling methods.
When initializing multiple n8n instances at once, you have a race condition where all of them will clear the database data, only one will register the webhooks on the database and the others will fail.
Also, when restarting the main process (for example to apply an update), n8n will temporarily stop receiving requests. This fix prevents this from happening.
