Yeah but this is using 3 different backend services just to automate self hosted forms. Pretty sure you can do this without 3 different services.

- ocdtrekkie 2y agoThat's entirely fair. I don't think I'd end up using the same setup as the author, but it definitely planted some ideas.
- cchance 2y agoI mean one a db.. you’d want that regardless and the others the processor.. and ones the form… you’d need those 3 in some variety anyway and technically you could drop the db if you just want it dumped to email id imagine This is literally a blog recommending to use n8n as your processor… that’s basically it lol he’s just adding ways that can be extended too like noco and metrics
- megadal 2y agoMaybe the article should be titled "Self-hosting forms, the n8n way" then, because if I was working with a dev who did this I would definitely question their sanity. But as an article about a cool way to utilize n8n, this is fair, and perhaps even elegant.
- CoolCold 2y agoThe author clearly states he is not dev/sysadmin and just playing around for hobby - I think it's totally fine.
