About the App
GlobalCorp was bleeding resources due to manual data transfer between their Salesforce CRM, SAP ERP, and a custom billing engine. We deployed a highly available, self-hosted n8n instance. We created complex automation workflows and custom Node.js nodes to bridge the gap between modern APIs and legacy SOAP web services, completely eliminating manual data entry.
Technologies Used
✗Challenges
- •Lack of API documentation for legacy internal systems.
- •High volume of data (millions of rows) requiring daily synchronization.
- •Need for strict data privacy and on-premise execution.
✓Solutions
- •Deployed a scalable, self-hosted n8n architecture within their VPC via Docker.
- •Developed custom n8n nodes using Node.js to communicate with undocumented legacy SOAP endpoints.
- •Implemented robust error handling, retries, and alerting within n8n workflows.
- •Created a webhooks-driven architecture to trigger syncs instantly rather than daily batches.
