Part 2: n8n: Cloud vs Self-Hosted Solutions – Which to Choose?
After discovering the capabilities of n8n, a logical question arises: “How do I start using it?” n8n offers two main deployment approaches, each with its pros and cons: Cloud service (n8n Cloud) and Self-Hosted deployment. The choice depends on your needs, technical skills, and security requirements.
n8n Cloud: Simplicity and Convenience
n8n Cloud is the official service by the developers of n8n. Essentially, it’s “n8n as a service,” where all infrastructure and maintenance are handled by the n8n Inc. team.

Hi friends! Today, we’re diving into the world of automation and deploying n8n — a powerful workflow automation tool. We’ll install it in Docker, and use HAProxy as a reliable reverse proxy to expose it to the internet.
This guide is created especially for beginners. We’ll go step by step, explaining every command so you not only do it, but also understand how everything works.
Why do we even need HAProxy?
You could just expose n8n’s ports to the internet, right? Yes, but that’s unsafe and inconvenient. HAProxy acts as both a guard and a dispatcher:

Part 1: Getting to Know n8n – Your Swiss Army Knife for Automation
Introduction to n8n: What is it and why does it matter?
In today’s fast-paced world, routine tasks can consume too much time and energy. This is where automation tools come to the rescue. You’ve probably heard of “low-code” and “no-code” concepts that allow you to build powerful applications and automate processes without deep programming knowledge. One of the most prominent tools in this space is n8n.

I’ve developed an AI assistant that makes client calls instead of your accountant.
Calling loyal clients who forgot to pay their invoices is an unpleasant but important task.
Usually, this duty falls on the accountant — wasting valuable time on routine work.
My system automates this process.
The AI bot calls your clients, announces the outstanding payment, listens to their responses, recognizes speech, and logs the results.

I develop Telegram bots for specific tasks.
Why me, rather than ready-made builders?
Builders are limited by the functionality their creators have implemented. For most tasks that’s not enough.
A Telegram bot is not just a program that replies to messages. It’s a full-fledged system that can interact with external services, databases, CRM, or APIs.
I create bots of any complexity — from a simple informational assistant to a system with a catalog or live video streaming.
Thanks to experience, I quickly understand exactly what you want and whether it can be implemented.
