n8n 1.80 is now available for all instances on our platform. This release brings major improvements to the AI node ecosystem and overall workflow execution performance.

Highlights include enhanced AI Agent and AI Chain nodes with support for more LLM providers, a new workflow analytics panel with execution statistics and performance metrics, and up to 40% faster workflow execution for data-heavy operations through optimized memory handling.

Upgrade to v1.80 from your instance settings. As with any major update, we recommend testing your workflows in a staging instance first if you use the cloning feature.

You can now monitor your n8n instance's resource usage in real time. The new monitoring dashboard shows live CPU usage, memory consumption, and workflow execution counts with historical graphs.

The dashboard updates every 30 seconds and displays the last 24 hours of data by default. You can zoom into specific time ranges to correlate resource spikes with particular workflow runs.

Alerts can be configured to notify you by email when resource usage exceeds thresholds you define. This helps you proactively scale up before your workflows are affected.

A small but frequently requested feature: you can now see and copy your instance's webhook base URL directly from your hosting dashboard. No need to open n8n just to grab a webhook URL for an external integration.

The webhook URL section shows your instance's base webhook URL with a one-click copy button. It also displays your test webhook URL for development and debugging purposes.

Find this in the Instance Details section of your dashboard. We're always listening to feedback, so keep the suggestions coming!

As 2025 wraps up, we want to share our Q4 infrastructure performance with you. Across all customer instances, we achieved 99.97% uptime from October through December — that's less than 15 minutes of total downtime over three months.

Key stats for Q4 2025: zero data loss incidents, average instance response time of 145ms, 100% successful backup completion rate, and 3 planned maintenance windows (all under 5 minutes each).

We're investing heavily in redundancy and monitoring to make 2026 even more reliable. Thank you for trusting us with your automation infrastructure.

Need a staging environment? Want to test changes before deploying to production? You can now clone any of your existing n8n instances with a single click.

Cloning creates an exact copy of your instance including all workflows, credentials, environment variables, and settings. The cloned instance gets its own subdomain and runs independently from the original.

This is perfect for setting up development and staging environments, testing n8n version upgrades safely, or creating template instances that you can quickly duplicate for new projects.

You can now use your own domain name for your n8n instance instead of the default subdomain. Simply add a CNAME record pointing to our platform, and we'll handle the rest.

SSL certificates are automatically provisioned and renewed for custom domains via Let's Encrypt. DNS verification happens automatically, and your custom domain is typically live within minutes of adding the DNS record.

This is great for teams that want a branded URL for their automation platform, like automations.yourcompany.com. Configure custom domains from your instance settings.

Backup frequency is no longer one-size-fits-all. You can now choose your preferred backup schedule from your instance settings: daily, hourly, or real-time continuous backup.

Daily backups remain the default and are included with all plans. Hourly backups are available on Pro plans and above. Real-time continuous backup, which captures every change as it happens, is available on our Business plan.

You can also trigger a manual backup at any time, regardless of your plan. All backups include your complete instance data and can be restored with a single click.

n8n version 1.70 is now available on our platform. This release introduces several features that make building workflows more powerful and reliable.

The headline addition is the new Loop node, which lets you iterate over items with full control over batching and concurrency. Error handling has been significantly improved with better retry logic and more informative error messages. Webhook reliability has also been enhanced with connection pooling and automatic retry on temporary failures.

Upgrade to v1.70 from your instance settings. We recommend reviewing the n8n release notes for any breaking changes that might affect your existing workflows.

Reliability is critical when your business depends on automation. We've implemented automatic crash recovery for all n8n instances on our platform.

If your instance process crashes for any reason — out of memory, unhandled exceptions, or unexpected errors — our monitoring system detects the failure and automatically restarts the container within 30 seconds. You'll receive an email notification when this happens so you're always in the loop.

This feature works alongside our health checks, which continuously verify that your instance is responding and processing workflows correctly.

We believe you should always own your data. You can now download a complete export of your n8n instance at any time from your dashboard, including all workflows, credentials, and your full database.

The export is compatible with any standard n8n installation, so you can import it into a self-hosted setup or another provider if you ever choose to leave. There's no lock-in — your data is yours.

Exports are generated on demand and typically ready to download within a few minutes, depending on the size of your instance.
