This is exactly why we moved everything to n8n. Self-hosted all the way.
Self-hosting gives control, not immunity.
n8n solves a big part of the problem, but it still needs proper monitoring, backups, and capacity planning. The real win is owning execution, not just switching tools.
Make.com going down just reminds everyone that no-code is great… until it isn’t 😅
😁
We’ve been using Make for years without major issues. Isn’t this a bit overblown?
Not really. Make is solid most of the time.
The issue isn’t frequency, it’s impact. If one incident can freeze revenue-critical workflows, the architecture deserves scrutiny. Reliability is about failure tolerance, not uptime statistics.
Sounds nice, but redundancy is expensive. Not every startup can afford this.
Agreed. Not everything needs redundancy.
The mistake is treating all workflows the same. Most teams only need fallback for a small subset. The cost comes from not knowing which ones matter.
It’s great until it’s down and there’s no equally fast fix for the instant generation. Tougher even is that you can’t always jump in and patch with a redirect.
How does this affect AI agents specifically? Aren’t they more flexible?
They’re more flexible in decision-making, not execution.
If an agent can think but can’t act because the execution layer is down, it’s stuck. AI increases the need for resilient infrastructure, it doesn’t reduce it.
