n8n just released a brand-new feature: native data tables. This makes it possible to store and manage data directly inside your n8n environment without needing an external database or constant API calls.
In this video, I walk you through how these tables work, how to set them up, and how you can connect them to your workflows or AI agents in just a few clicks. I also cover the pros and cons, and when you might still want to use a traditional database instead.
If you’re building quick proof of concepts, demos, or just want a simple way to manage data without latency or rate limit issues, this feature is a game-changer.
