n8n is a workflow automation platform that uniquely combines AI capabilities with business process automation, giving technical teams the flexibility of code with the speed of no-code. Unlike rigid, closed-source alternatives that lock you into their ecosystems, n8n operates under a fair-code model - meaning the source is always visible, you can self-host on your own infrastructure, and you have complete control over your data and workflows. With over 500 integrations and the ability to connect any app or API, n8n enables teams to build sophisticated multi-step AI agents and automations that scale from simple tasks to enterprise-grade orchestration without hitting platform-imposed limits.
Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Berlin, n8n has grown into one of the world's most popular automation platforms with over 175,000 GitHub stars and a community of more than 650,000 active developers. The platform powers workflows for leading enterprises including Wayfair, Vodafone, Microsoft, SEAT, Zendesk, Paddle, Delivery Hero, and Meta. By supporting both self-hosted deployments for full data sovereignty and a managed cloud option for convenience, n8n gives organizations the freedom to implement AI-driven automation on their terms - whether that means on-premises control behind firewalls or cloud-native scalability.
