I got to know n8n from HN comments a couple year ago. I tried it and kinda liked it, it was really a tool for making quick PoC, trying remote APIs and building operations.

I was able to hack a MVP of a new product in just one or two days.

Now, the company uses n8n for a lot of stuff, out ops team and finance team is expected to automatize manual work using n8n. From billing to financial conciliation to customer support. Also in product/dev team we implement some parts as flows, for things we expect to change a lot of features that are more internal.

But n8n requires a lot of time and care. It's not intended for high loads, they make a lot of breaking changes (more like new bugs, but is not fun).

We do all this self hosting in a k8s cluster.

In general I like it, but I think is still intended for a personal o early adopter.

Funny, one of my biz co-founder, learned and created a new biz just teaching it.
