Hi all - I’m new to the n8n communtiy and a long time devops engineer. Interested in hearing about your experience with deploying n8n in enterprise environments. Grateful for any success stories that made it beyond the deveopment lab and, if applicable, what your experience with the company support and sales has been like?
My initial experience is that the demo envrionment is click bait and the sales and engineer availability is limited in their ability to reply timely or with helfpul content?
If you’re just looking for anecdotal context, I have experience with one instance running the community edition in k8s in queue mode (worker nodes coordinated via Redis) running large workflows to orchestrate steps for provisioning compute resources (VMs, firewall rules, network setup, storage, etc.) and another “production” instance running as a single node on a Raspberry Pi 4 to apply AI resources to several invoice processing tasks (~100 executions/day) for a small business. In both of those scenarios, n8n just runs, no problems. So, I guess I’d say it’s as Enterprise-ready as any other tool I’ve used, and way better than many commercial-only tools.
Re: support response. If you are using a licensed version, there are more resources available, and quicker response from n8n staff, but even the community support is more active and quicker than many (most) of the alternatives. You would probably just have to stick around and see that for yourself though. Also join the conversations on the Discord Server if you haven’t already.
Thank you for the helpful input. Helps to know if the product is stable.
Just to add to what @hubschrauber already said.
There is plenty of partners of n8n/agencies whatever that can also offer support contracts etc. So you are not dependant on just the n8n team for this.
