N8N as the next orchestration back-end??
Guys, am i the only one that uses n8n as an orchestration module for the backend. I greatly feel like it is what Redis and Kubernetes was before they became a framework.
In the startup I am in, we developed a framework where the front end just fetches everything in real-time. Then the agentic-side of the app is controlled by n8n that is deployed on fly.io (where i have control of horizontal and vertical scaling). Usually i use vite-react and nextjs, at times i use django to construct it.
People use langchain but i dont think anyone actually understands the power that self-deployed n8n has. What are your thoughts on this?
