I'm looking to create automated solutions for clinics, and I need help figuring out the right architecture for this project. My main goals are to ensure: 1. Each clinic's data remains isolated and secure, 2. I can easily scale from just a few clinics to potentially fifty without complicating things, 3. Adding new automations won't disrupt existing ones, and 4. The setup is straightforward for a minimum viable product while still being viable long-term. I'm hoping to get recommendations on best practices for multi-tenant architecture in n8n, strategies for structuring workflows to maintain organization, whether to use multiple n8n instances or just one with separation logic, and advice on handling scaling, security, and per-client logic effectively in n8n. Any patterns or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Just a heads up, n8n is a workflow automation tool that supports lots of integrations—definitely not the same as nationalisation (LOL). It's worth diving into its features to see how they can fit your needs! Begin by exploring examples on the n8n website; they often have case studies that could inspire your architecture.
Check out their website for more detailed insights: https://n8n.io/. It's versatile for automations.
It seems like you're asking for a complete architectural design, which is a hefty request. Pricing out such services is common since good strategizing takes expertise. However, I get it; you want to know how to sell to multiple clinics without breaking anything. I'd suggest you start with a multi-tenant approach, where each clinic’s data is stored separately but can be managed from a single interface. This way, you won’t hit a wall as you scale up. But be prepared to talk to an architect; they could save you from potential pitfalls!
Have you tried asking ChatGPT? Might be worth a shot!
All I'm trying to figure out is how to avoid any breakage when I'm adding more clients.
It's actually a pretty neat tool! You might be misguided on some points, but definitely worth a look.
