About n8n
n8n is a source-available workflow automation platform that combines a visual editor with real code. Users wire triggers, transformations, and branches on a canvas, then drop into JavaScript or Python whenever a native node falls short. More than 400 prebuilt integrations cover SaaS staples like Slack, Salesforce, and Postgres, and a built-in LangChain layer lets you attach AI agents, embeddings, and vector stores as ordinary workflow steps.
What sets n8n apart is deployment control: the same workflow file runs on n8n Cloud or on your own infrastructure via Docker, Kubernetes, or npm, so regulated teams can keep credentials and data in-house. Environments, Git-based workflow versioning, user management, and queue mode for scaling executions make it viable beyond single-team scripts. It suits technical operators and platform teams who want Zapier-style speed without giving up hosting choices or programmatic escape hatches.
- Self-hostable, so data and credentials can stay inside your own infrastructure
- 400+ integrations plus JavaScript and Python code nodes for anything custom
- Native LangChain-based AI agent steps fit LLM logic into normal workflows
- Execution history and workflow versioning support real operational practices
- Source-available fair-code license, not OSI open source, limits commercial redistribution
- Steeper learning curve than Zapier; expressions and node logic take practice
- You own the ops burden when self-hosting: upgrades, backups, and scaling
