n8n GmbH (pronounced "n-eight-n"[3], short for "nodemation") is a German software company that provides a Visual programming language for automating workflows.[4][2][5] Their product has been termed a "low-code" and "fair code" form of workflow automation in the style of Dataflow programming.[2]

The n8n platform (software/service) provides a visual node-based editor for automation involving other commercial and proprietary applications,[5][independent source needed] and supports both a self-hosted web service,[2][5] and a managed cloud service.[4]

Overview

As of December 2025, the n8n company's platform was being reported effective at linking and integrating data and functions "between more than 350 established applications", with latitude to also engage custom services and apps used within client organizations.[2] Between its October 2019 launch and April 2021, the community of members—developers and “citizen developers”—using the platform had grown to approximately 16,000.[2]

History

n8n GmbH was founded in 2019 under the leadership of Jan Oberhauser, in Berlin, and launched its first version of its eponymous platform in October of that year.[2][4][6] In March 2020, n8n raised $1.5 million in seed funding co-led by Sequoia Capital and firstminute capital.[4] n8n raised a further $12 million in a Series A round, in April 2021, led by Felicis Ventures, with participation from Sequoia, firstminute, and Harpoon.[2] In March 2025, n8n closed a €55 million (≈$60 million) Series B round led by Highland Europe, joined by HV Capital and prior investors.[7]

In October 2025, n8n raised $180 million in a Series C round, bringing the company’s valuation to $2.5 billion; the round was led by Accel with participation from:

Previous investors, including Felicis Ventures, Sequoia, Highland Europe, and HV Capital also participated in follow-on investments.[8]

Technology

The n8n platform is implemented using Node.js and TypeScript.[9] Workflows are modeled as directed graphs of nodes.[citation needed] For scale-out execution,[jargon][citation needed] queue mode runs worker processes that consume jobs from a broker; documentation variables[citation needed] and environment variables for this mode are provided for self-hosted deployments.[improper synthesis?][10][better source needed][independent source needed]

Licensing

n8n describes its licensing as fair-code, with the code published under the company’s Sustainable Use License (SUL), and it describes the SUL as allowing use, modification, and redistribution with specific limitations (for example, restricting use to internal business purposes); n8n states that it adopted the SUL in March 2022, replacing its prior Apache-2.0 + Commons Clause model.[11][non-primary source needed][independent source needed]

Each worker is its own Node.js instance, running in main mode, but able to handle multiple simultaneous workflow executions due to their high IOPS (input-output operations per second)... This is the process flow: 1. The main n8n instance handles timers and webhook calls, generating (but not running) a workflow execution. 2. It passes the execution ID to a message broker, Redis, which maintains the queue of pending executions and allows the next available worker to pick them up.{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: numeric names: authors list (link)[non-primary source needed]
