PostgreSQLOpenAIWebhooksArchitecture and operations
n8n combines visual workflow building with code-level flexibility. Teams can start from connectors and still add JavaScript or custom APIs when business logic requires it.
Self-hosting is the key difference for organizations that need governance, auditability and control over sensitive data flows.
n8n can coordinate AI agents, CRM updates, ERP synchronization, support routing, document processing and enrichment workflows.
It is especially useful when several systems need to exchange data with clear validation, retries and monitoring.
n8n can run in Docker, Kubernetes or managed infrastructure with queue mode, workers, PostgreSQL and secrets management.
For production use, we add monitoring, backup, access control and clear ownership rules for workflows.
