- You need guaranteed workflow completion across failures and restarts
- Your team writes code and wants workflow orchestration as infrastructure
- You're running microservices and need reliable saga patterns or compensation logic
- You need to process thousands of workflows per second
- You want built-in workflow versioning and deterministic replay - You want to automate tasks between SaaS tools and self-hosted services
- You need a visual builder that non-developers can use
- You're replacing Zapier, Make, or IFTTT
- You want 400+ pre-built integrations without writing code
- You need something running in 5 minutes, not 5 hours
- Your automation needs are typical business workflows, not distributed systems - How to Self-Host n8n
