Automate Complex Business Operations
with Production-Grade n8n
Stop duct-taping your business together with fragile Zapier zaps and surprise per-task bills. 10Base designs, deploys, and maintains self-hosted n8n automations that scale cleanly with zero data leakage.
Why UK Businesses Choose n8n Over Zapier / Make
Modern operations need robust logic, high volume processing, and total data control without monthly invoice shock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about implementing n8n automations with 10Base.
What is n8n and why is it better than Zapier or Make?
n8n is a developer-grade workflow automation platform that can be self-hosted in private cloud environments. It eliminates per-task price gouging, ensures data never leaves your infrastructure, and allows full TypeScript scripting and advanced AI agent workflows.
Who owns the automations and servers?
You do. 10Base builds and configures all workflows directly in your own cloud account (AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, or private VPS). You receive 100% intellectual property ownership, documentation, and source code.
Can n8n connect with bespoke internal software?
Yes. n8n natively connects to REST APIs, GraphQL, webhooks, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL Server. If your custom application has an API or database, n8n can integrate seamlessly.
