Open-Source Power

n8n Automation,
Built for Production

Self-hosted, flexible, developer-grade workflows that give you complete control over your automation logic and data

What Is n8n?

n8n is an open-source workflow automation tool that combines the visual simplicity of low-code platforms with the power and flexibility of custom code. Unlike cloud-only solutions, n8n can be self-hosted, giving you complete control over your data, logic, and infrastructure.

Open-Source

Full access to source code, no vendor lock-in, and a thriving community of contributors

Self-Hosting

Run on your own infrastructure with complete data sovereignty and security control

Full Control

Customize every aspect of your workflows with code, APIs, and custom integrations

Key n8n Advantages

What makes n8n the choice for developers and technical teams

Visual Workflows with Code-Level Power

Drag-and-drop interface for speed, custom JavaScript for unlimited flexibility

Advanced Branching & Error Handling

Complex conditional logic, sophisticated error recovery, and retry mechanisms

Webhooks & Custom APIs

Trigger workflows via HTTP requests, build custom endpoints, and integrate anything

Scalability & Extensibility

Queue mode for high-volume workloads, custom nodes, and enterprise-ready architecture

Common Pitfalls

Why Most n8n Workflows Fail

n8n's power is a double-edged sword. Without proper architecture, workflows become unmaintainable quickly.

Poor Error Handling

Workflows crash on edge cases with no recovery or notification

Hardcoded Logic

Values and rules baked into nodes, making updates a nightmare

No Modularity

Monolithic workflows that can't be reused or tested independently

No Observability

When something breaks, you have no idea what happened or where

The Autorithm Way

How Autorithm Builds n8n Systems

Production-grade patterns that make your n8n workflows reliable, maintainable, and scalable

Modular Workflow Architecture

Break complex automations into reusable sub-workflows. Each module has a single responsibility and clear inputs/outputs.

Centralized Error Handling

Every workflow has a standardized error handling pattern with logging, notifications, and automatic retry logic where appropriate.

Versioned Logic

All business rules and configurations are versioned and stored externally, making updates safe and trackable.

Production-Ready Patterns

Built-in monitoring, comprehensive logging, data validation, and idempotency checks on every critical operation.
