N8n

n8n (pronounced "n-eight-n", a contraction of "nodemation") is a workflow automation platform and the Berlin company, n8n GmbH, that develops it. Founded by Jan Oberhauser and first released publicly in 2019, n8n lets users build automations by wiring together applications, services and AI models in a visual, node-based editor, with the option to use custom JavaScript or Python. It runs as a self-hosted application or as a managed cloud service, and has been described in coverage as a source-available alternative to hosted tools such as Zapier and Make. The code is published under what the company calls a "fair-code" model, a source-available licence that allows self-hosting and modification but bars reselling n8n as a competing hosted service. n8n topped the 2025 JavaScript Rising Stars ranking by GitHub stars added over the year, raised a $180 million Series C in October 2025 at a $2.5 billion valuation, and in May 2026 took a strategic investment from SAP that roughly doubled that valuation.
