Deploy n8n on Northflank

n8n is a free and source-available workflow automation tool that lets teams build flexible, AI-powered workflows. It’s designed for developers, data teams, and businesses that want to automate processes, integrate deeply with data sources, and share reusable workflow templates.

With Northflank, you can deploy n8n in minutes using a one-click stack template. Northflank manages scaling, networking, storage, and security, so you can focus on building workflows instead of maintaining infrastructure.

The n8n on Northflank stack template includes:

This setup gives you a complete n8n environment, ready to automate workflows with minimal configuration.
