| Consideration | n8n Cloud | Self-hosted |
|---|---|---|
| Infrastructure | Vendor operates the platform infrastructure | Your organisation or an agreed operator manages it |
| Controls | Check the plan and supported configuration | Design access, backups, updates and recovery |
| Data location | Confirm contracted region and connected services | Hosting location alone does not control every connected service |
| Total cost | Subscription plus build and operations | Hosting, applicable licence, build and operational effort |
Keep the first workflow narrow. Agree who checks its output, who owns each account and how to ask for help.
Review environment separation, access, secrets, auditability, change control and recovery requirements. Match platform and licence capabilities to the agreed design.
A document flow should make the uncertain cases visible.
Approved input enters the workflow.
Required fields, formats and duplicates are checked.
An authorised person handles exceptions or consequential actions.
Confirm the destination update and make failures visible.
We can review it against the workload and operating requirements. Access, licensing, backups and responsibility for changes need to be clear.
Connectivity depends on the application, API, permissions and licence. We verify the available route during scoping and explain any limits before committing.
The agreement should identify workflow exports, documentation, accounts and access. Platform licences and third-party services remain subject to their terms.
