Questions, answered

What does strongly typed mean here?

Workflow data carries types, catching mismatches at design time instead of runtime.

Can I use Flow-Like commercially?

Custom license โ€” read the repo's license file first.

How does it compare to n8n?

It emphasizes type safety, Rust performance, and enterprise scale over n8n's node ecosystem.

Do I need Rust knowledge?

Not necessarily for using workflows, but it helps for deep customization.

Is there a hosted version?

Check flow-like.com for current deployment options.
