Project
n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform for building multi-step automations linking apps, APIs, and AI agents, self-hosted or via n8n Cloud.
n8n's pricing page counts one execution per workflow run, from EUR 20 a month for 2,500 executions up to EUR 667 for 40,000, a DEV Community review says. In the review's examples, the run schedule decides which tier a team lands on.

LiteLLM 1.83.9 fixes two Check Point-reported flaws, CVE-2026-35029 and CVE-2026-59823, that affect every older version of the gateway. A DEV Community patch guide pairs the upgrade with key rotation and an audit of what the gateway held.
Reality
Cognitum One released a new Ruflo on October 13 that turns one coding assistant into a swarm of 100+ agents. The parts worth copying are the controls around the model: approval modes, cost visibility and data gating.
Reality
n8n announced native OpenTelemetry tracing on June 8, 2026, emitting one trace per workflow run and, optionally, a child span for every node. Teams that already run an OTLP-compatible backend can read an n8n run beside their other services.
Reality
ZoomInfo launched a ZoomInfo-maintained n8n node on October 12, 2026 that lets workflows and AI agents query contacts, companies and signals at runtime. That puts a ZoomInfo call inside the run itself, so failure handling and agent permissions become the design questions.
Reality
Two of n8n's three September advisory batches, at least 26 advisories in all, have no CVE IDs, a dev.to post reports. A green scanner report on a self-hosted instance says little until someone checks the version by hand.
Reality
n8n 2.43.0, shipped October 6, refuses to publish any workflow whose required node inputs are unconnected, according to a dev.to review of the changelog. The check covers wiring only, so wrong credentials and bad prompts still need their own tests before an agent goes live.
Reality
n8n has opened its MCP tools to agent hosts including Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, so their agents can build and edit workflows from inside the coding tool. The workflows still run in n8n, so each host a team connects is one more place that can change a live automation.
Reality
n8n disclosed two server-takeover flaws on October 5, rated CVSS 8.7 and 9.4, with fixes in versions 1.123.76, 2.37.7 and 2.38.2. On a shared instance, the 8.7-rated sandbox escape lets anyone who can edit a workflow run code on the server.
Reality
n8n 2.41.6's Postgres node writes $1 values into SQL text via pg-promise 11.9.1, so Postgres never gets a bind parameter. A psql PREPARE dry-run tests a path the node never uses, and Postgres types inlined literals before any CASE guard runs.
Reality
NVIDIA's RTX Spark PCs from Lenovo and Acer ship in October with up to 128GB of shared CPU/GPU memory, enough for a 4-bit 70B model. Long-context agents now fit on owned hardware, though a cost comparison with cloud inference waits on system prices.
Reality
One team running a GPT-5.4 agent in n8n traced its production 'laziness' to three workflow bugs, the first a retry cap cut from 6 to 2. Fixing the loop restored quality on the same model, so traces and stop reasons should be checked before any model swap.
Reality
n8n has put Agents into preview on n8n Cloud, letting a model choose its own steps from four kinds of tools, existing workflows among them. Teams can hand triage and inbox review to an agent and keep repeatable actions in the workflows it calls.
Reality
Shopify removes the subscription from a webhook whose destination is failing, and it emails the owner only when an App Store or custom app created the webhook. A merchant who builds one by hand in the admin has to watch the receiver themselves.
Reality
European agentic-AI startups have raised 7.9bn euros this year, already more than last year's 7bn, according to Sifted data. The founders who explain how customers deploy agents each sell one layer of the stack and disagree about which one has to come first.
Reality
GHSA-864f-rcv7-6rh4 lets guest code hand the C++ bindings one type on the first read and a different one on the second. Fixes are in 7.0.1 and 6.2.0.
Reality
Make bills a credit for every module a scenario executes and n8n bills once per run, so a 20-step pipeline costs 20 units on Make and one on n8n. For short flows the two prices converge, and the choice turns on who maintains the flows and where the data may live.
Reality
An open-source AgentCore node moves memory, sandboxed execution and tool access into a managed harness. The install is the easy part; the access decisions do not move.
Reality
n8n went from $2.5bn to $5.2bn in seven months and SAP is embedding its canvas in Joule Studio, while the single number offered for agent failure, an 88% security incident rate, arrives without a population or a definition.
Reality
A dev.to walkthrough of the n8n 1.x to 2.0 upgrade treats it as a host-configuration review, because the defaults that changed decide what Code nodes may read and which nodes exist at all.
