n8n

Open-source workflow automation for powerful integrations.

Services

Deployments & CI/CD

Automated builds, tests and releases — reproducible in CI/CD pipelines.

Integrations & workflows

Connect systems and automate processes (e.g. n8n, webhooks).

Monitoring & security

Observability, backups, hardening and predictable operations.

n8n is an open‑source workflow automation platform designed for reliable system integration. It connects APIs, transforms data and triggers follow‑up actions without forcing every automation to be built as custom code.

How I use n8n in projects

I use n8n for recurring processes such as lead routing, reporting, enrichment pipelines, translation workflows and synchronisation between shop, ERP and CRM. Workflows remain understandable and versionable, while code nodes provide flexibility for edge cases and complex logic.

Reliability beyond the happy path

Automations become interesting when things fail: timeouts, rate limits, malformed payloads and third‑party outages. That’s why I implement retries, dead‑letter strategies, idempotent steps and strong logging so workflows don’t just run fast—they run reliably.

Self‑hosting, security and operations

Self‑hosting provides data control and reduces vendor lock‑in. It also requires disciplined credential handling, roles/permissions, backups and a deployment setup that makes updates predictable. With Docker and monitoring, n8n can be operated safely even at higher volumes.

n8n is a great fit when automation should start quickly but must remain dependable long term. With clean architecture it becomes a stabilising component—not a new source of operational risk.
