I Deleted My No-Code Automation Platform and Rewrote 34 Workflows in TypeScript

Short summary

Author migrated 34 production automations from n8n (no-code) to TypeScript with DBOS, achieving 10x memory reduction while maintaining identical behavior. Using Claude Code to assist, they preserved zero client downtime via reverse proxy routing. Key insight: technical barriers to code-first workflows are lower than existing habits suggest—viable at production scale.

  • •10x memory reduction: 1.4GB → 150MB for identical 34 workflows
  • •Solo migration using Claude Code—caught bugs before production
  • •Zero downtime achieved with reverse proxy architecture

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
