Building with n8n
n8n is strongest at self-hosting keeps data in your control, and custom code nodes escape the no-code ceiling. We reach for it when that is the property a workload actually depends on, and we say so when it is not.
We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep. We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.
Questions
What is n8n best at?
Self-hosting keeps data in your control, and custom code nodes escape the no-code ceiling.
When would you not use n8n?
Complex logic outgrows the visual builder and belongs in application code. We would look at Zapier or WhatsApp Business API in that situation.
Do you have a commercial relationship with n8n?
No. We hold no reseller commission on any technology we recommend, which is what lets the trade-off above be stated plainly.
Can you work with our existing n8n setup?
Yes. We would rather extend and stabilise something that already works than introduce a parallel system your team has to learn.
Working with n8n?
Tell us the workload and we will tell you whether this is the right tool for it.
