What is N8N and why use it on a VPS?
N8N is an open-source workflow automation platform for creating workflows between applications, services, and data. It automates processes, synchronizes data, and orchestrates even complex tasks through an intuitive visual interface.
N8N’s editor is visual and based on drag-and-drop: each node represents an action, such as an API call or a data transformation. By connecting nodes, you can create simple workflows or orchestrate complex processes without writing code.
Unlike SaaS solutions, with self-hosted n8n, you maintain full control over data, integrations, and operational logic.
On Aruba Cloud VPS, N8N is available in a preconfigured, ready-to-use environment: you avoid complex setups and can focus on automation with isolated resources and the ability to customize configurations, nodes, and integrations.
