Case Study: n8n scales open-source workflow automation with WorkOS

n8n scales to 1M monthly active users with WorkOS

n8n, a low-code workflow automation tool, needed a flexible and self-hostable platform to help engineers build repeatable AI and data pipelines. Their challenge was to provide users with full control over their data and infrastructure, avoiding the limitations of proprietary, cloud-hosted automation alternatives. This led them to partner with WorkOS.

WorkOS provided the enterprise-ready infrastructure that complemented n8n's open-source platform. By leveraging WorkOS, n8n was able to offer a secure and scalable solution, giving their customers ownership over their automation and ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations. The partnership helped n8n establish itself as a cost-effective and developer-friendly alternative in the automation space.
