Part ofAI automation
n8n development
n8n is an open source workflow automation platform that connects systems through prebuilt nodes and custom JavaScript or Python. I build, deploy and maintain n8n workflows, either self-hosted in your environment or on n8n Cloud, and use it as the engine for AI automations that need to talk to more than one system.
Why n8n rather than Zapier or Make
n8n runs on your own infrastructure, so data never has to leave the building. Pricing follows executions rather than steps, so a twenty node workflow does not cost twenty times more. And when a prebuilt node falls short you can write code inside the workflow instead of standing up a separate service.
Self-hosted or cloud
Self-hosting in Docker gives full control over data, versions and network access, at the cost of someone owning updates and backups. n8n Cloud removes that operational load but places your data with the vendor. The choice usually follows what passes through the workflow: personal data and contracts argue for self-hosting, public data for cloud.
Workflows you can debug
An n8n workflow that has grown to fifty nodes without structure is unmaintainable. I split the logic into sub-workflows with clear interfaces, add error handlers that alert rather than fail silently, and version the workflow definitions in Git so any change can be rolled back.
Common questions about this service
Can n8n run on our own server?
Yes. n8n is open source and runs in Docker on your own server or with any cloud provider. Self-hosting means no data passes through a third party, which is usually the deciding argument when a workflow handles personal data, contracts or customer records.
What happens to our workflows if we stop working with you?
Nothing. n8n runs in your environment, the workflow definitions live in your Git repository and the documentation describes each one. Anyone who knows n8n can take over. That is built into how I work rather than sold as an add-on.
What does running n8n cost?
Self-hosted n8n has no licence cost, only the server, and most workflows fit comfortably on a small virtual machine. n8n Cloud is priced per execution. In an AI workflow the variable cost is usually the language model calls rather than n8n itself.
