n8n Self-Hosting
Why we exclusively deploy self-hosted n8n infrastructure for our clients.
Our Philosophy
At Pure Logic Studio, we believe that true automation efficiency comes from owning your infrastructure. While SaaS automation platforms like Zapier and Make offer convenience, they come with escalating costs, vendor lock-in, and limited control. Self-hosted n8n is the antidote to the "SaaS Tax."
Why Self-Hosted n8n?
Predictable Costs
Self-hosting eliminates per-execution pricing. Your infrastructure cost remains fixed regardless of workflow volume. For most mid-market businesses, this reduces automation costs by 80-95% compared to cloud automation platforms.
Data Sovereignty
Your data never leaves your infrastructure. This is critical for compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2) and eliminates third-party data exposure. You control where your data lives and who has access.
No Vendor Lock-In
n8n is open-source with a fair-code license. Your workflows are portable, auditable, and not subject to arbitrary pricing changes or platform deprecations. You own the code and the infrastructure.
Unlimited Scaling
Scale vertically or horizontally without hitting plan limits. Run millions of executions per month for the same infrastructure cost. No artificial throttling or "contact sales" tiers.
Infrastructure Control
Deploy to AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or on-premises. Choose your compute, storage, and networking configurations. Optimize for your specific performance and security requirements.
Break the SaaS Tax Cycle
SaaS platforms raise prices 10-30% annually as you grow. Self-hosted n8n costs actually decrease per execution as you scale, thanks to infrastructure efficiency gains.
How We Deploy n8n
1. Infrastructure Assessment
We analyze your current automation workload, data sensitivity, and compliance requirements to design the optimal n8n deployment architecture.
2. Production-Grade Setup
Our deployments include PostgreSQL databases, Redis for queue management, secure networking, automated backups, monitoring, and SSL/TLS encryption. We don't do toy deployments.
3. Integration Configuration
We configure all necessary integrations with your existing stack—CRMs, databases, APIs, webhooks, and custom applications. Every connection is tested and documented.
4. Workflow Migration
If you're migrating from Zapier, Make, or another platform, we systematically rebuild your workflows in n8n with improved logic, error handling, and performance optimization.
5. Team Training & Handoff
We train your team on n8n fundamentals, workflow management, and troubleshooting. You receive complete documentation and ongoing support options.
Real-World Cost Comparison
Based on AWS EC2 t3.medium with RDS PostgreSQL and Redis ElastiCache. Actual infrastructure costs vary by workload.
Common Questions
Do I need DevOps expertise to run n8n?
No. We handle the entire deployment, configuration, and maintenance. You interact with n8n's visual workflow builder just like any SaaS platform. We can also provide managed hosting services if you prefer hands-off infrastructure management.
How long does a migration take?
Typical migrations from Zapier or Make take 2-4 weeks depending on workflow complexity and integration count. We work in parallel with your existing automations to ensure zero downtime.
What if I need custom integrations?
n8n has 400+ native integrations, and any REST API can be connected via HTTP nodes. We also build custom nodes for proprietary systems if needed. If it has an API, we can connect it.
