n8n is a workflow automation and integration platform that gives you a node-based visual builder (drag-and-drop) plus the ability to write custom code when needed. It supports self-hosting or using their managed cloud.
If you have tasks that involve connecting multiple apps/APIs, automating data flows, or building “mini-agents” (especially when you want more control than typical no-code tools), n8n is valuable. It gives you full control of data and infrastructure (if you self-host), unlimited users & workflows, and pricing based on executions rather than seats.
You design workflows by chaining nodes (triggers, app connectors, logic, API calls, etc). You can use ready-made integrations (500+). You can self-host the platform (via Docker/Node) or use n8n Cloud (hosted). Their licensing is “fair-code” (source visible, deployable, but not fully open source in the OSS sense).
