n8n V2: The day automation grew up (and yes, we finally have Auto-save)

🔥

Hey everyone! 👋

You’ve probably heard the noise by now, but I wanted to drop the real value bomb here. n8n Version 2 is out, and honestly, it’s the quality leap we’ve been waiting years for.

If you’ve ever lost an entire complex workflow because Chrome decided to update itself or you accidentally closed a tab... today is a day to celebrate. 🍾

Here is the no-fluff summary of why this changes the game for us:

1. 🧠 AUTO-SAVE (The MVP of the update) Yes. It’s real. No more trauma from lost work. This feature alone makes the update worth it.

2. 🚀 Insane Speed The new interface isn't just prettier (better dark/light mode), it flies. If you have workflows with 200+ nodes, you will feel the difference instantly. No more lag.

3. 🤖 Ready for AI Agents If you are building systems with LLMs (like many of us here are doing), V2 handles memory, prompts, and AI error handling much better. It’s built for the future of agents.

4. 🔐 Enterprise-Level Security For those of you selling services to clients: n8n now has better logging, credential management, and error controls. No more "hacky" workarounds to make clients feel safe.

5. 🔗 Rock-Solid Integrations They’ve rewritten core nodes like Google, Slack, HubSpot... fewer "ghost" errors and much more stable connections.

🧐 My Take: n8n has stopped being just that "low-code tool for hackers" and has become a robust platform ready for serious production. If you sell automation services, your offering just increased in value.

👇 Question for the group: Which improvement was most urgent for you? The auto-save or the stability in AI nodes?
