N8n

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. == History ==

n8n GmbH was founded in 2019 by Jan Oberhauser, in Berlin, and launched its first version of its eponymous platform in October of that year. In March 2020, n8n raised $1.5 million in seed funding co-led by Sequoia Capital and firstminute capital. 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: • Sequoia; • Visionaries Club; • Nvidia’s NVentures; • Meritech Capital Partners; • Redpoint Ventures; • Evantic; and • Deutsche Telekom’s T. Capital. ==Technology ==

The n8n platform is implemented using Node.js and TypeScript. Workflows are modeled as directed graphs of nodes. For scale-out execution, queue mode runs worker processes that consume jobs from a broker; documentation variables and environment variables for this mode are provided for self-hosted deployments. 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. ==Further reading==
