Zapier to n8n
Forty Zaps are rebuilt in n8n, run in parallel for a week to compare results, then switched over one group at a time.
n8n Setup, Hosting and Migration
n8n set up properly in your own account, cloud or self-hosted, and migration from Zapier or Make without disrupting the business.

01
What this solves.
Per-task pricing grows with the business, some data cannot leave your infrastructure, and a quick self-hosted n8n without backups, updates, or monitoring becomes a risk.
What changes
- n8n running in your account, owned by you
- Backups, updates, and monitoring in place
- Existing automations moved without downtime
- Clear costs that do not grow per task
Use cases
02
What this looks like in practice.
Typical examples. Every build is scoped to your own process and systems.
Self-hosted in the EU
n8n is deployed in the client's own cloud account in an EU region, with a managed database, backups, and alerting.
Scaling up
A busy instance is moved to queue mode with workers, so long-running workflows no longer block others.
Scope
03
What we can build.
Capabilities
- n8n Cloud or self-hosted setup
- Queue mode for higher volumes
- Separate development and production
- Backups, updates, and monitoring
- Zapier and Make migration
- Credential and access setup
How it works
We recommend cloud or self-hosted based on your data, volume, and team. The instance is created in your account and you own it; we build and maintain the workflows inside it.
Tools we commonly work with
n8n
Docker
PostgreSQL- Zapier
- Make
Cloudflare
GitHub
Limits and human review
The n8n instance and its licence belong to you. Hosting n8n on our own servers for clients would need a commercial agreement with n8n, so we set it up in your account instead.

Questions
06
Common questions.
Should we use n8n Cloud or self-host?
Cloud is simplest to run. Self-hosting gives more control over data location and cost at volume, but needs maintenance. We recommend based on your situation.
Will the migration interrupt our business?
No. New workflows run alongside the old ones until results match, then we switch over in planned steps.
