Append-only record of what recently happened on an instance: an `ActivityEvent` entity, the `activity_event` table, and a repository with the single write path plus the two retention deletes. Nothing reads or writes the table yet, so this ships and rolls back independently of any behaviour change. It lives in core `@n8n/db` rather than a module: a record of what changed on the instance is not specific to one consumer, and scoping it to one would make every later reader either cross a module boundary or build a second log. Three decisions worth keeping: - `resourceId` has no foreign key. An entry has to outlive what it describes — a workflow deletion is the entry most worth keeping, and a cascade erases it exactly when it becomes interesting. - No CHECK on `category` or `action`. A feed covers more kinds with every feature, and each widening is another SQLite table recreation. The single writer is a typed relay, so the compiler already rejects a value outside the union. - Two indexes on creation, `(projectId, id)` and `(userId, id)`, each justified by a read and a foreign key. The per-resource index lands in its own migration. Index assertions read the index DDL back rather than going through `getTable()`, which returns index columns alphabetically on Postgres and so would confirm a column order it never checked. |

What does n8n mean?
Short answer: It means "nodemation" and is pronounced as n-eight-n.
Long answer: "I get that question quite often (more often than I expected) so I decided it is probably best to answer it here. While looking for a good name for the project with a free domain I realized very quickly that all the good ones I could think of were already taken. So, in the end, I chose nodemation. 'node-' in the sense that it uses a Node-View and that it uses Node.js and '-mation' for 'automation' which is what the project is supposed to help with. However, I did not like how long the name was and I could not imagine writing something that long every time in the CLI. That is when I then ended up on 'n8n'." - Jan Oberhauser, Founder and CEO, n8n.io
