n8n

n8n builds a workflow automation and AI orchestration platform that connects business applications, internal tools, and AI models. Technical teams use it to automate tasks such as employee onboarding, security incident enrichment, and sales analysis. Its visual workflow editor supports JavaScript and Python for custom logic, while multi-agent orchestration lets AI systems coordinate decisions and trigger downstream actions. Users can choose a hosted service or deploy n8n on their own infrastructure.

Founded in Berlin in 2019 by Jan Oberhauser, who remains CEO, n8n grew around an extensible, node-based approach to connecting APIs and internal systems. Its engineering supports different execution architectures: Queue mode separates webhook intake from workflow execution and supports horizontal scaling through workers. Published benchmarking tools help teams test their own deployments; the company's tests illustrate how performance depends on workload, architecture, and hardware, particularly for large file processing.

In June 2026, the company reported 1.8 million monthly active developers and builders and adoption by more than 35% of the Fortune 500. SAP's strategic investment in May 2026 valued n8n at $5.2 billion. The companies also signed a multiyear commercial agreement to embed n8n within Joule Studio, SAP's agent-building environment; the announcement described a planned integration.
