An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Node-RED is a mature, open-source low-code programming tool for building and integrating applications that connect hardware devices, APIs, and online services.
While Node-RED has a large, established developer community, it suffers from one serious limitation: Node-RED applications are standalone, running on individual devices.
FlowFuse addresses this problem with its platform that manages, secures, and scales Node-RED, either in the cloud or on premises.
Node-RED supports several industrial communications protocols, as does FlowFuse, differentiating the platform from more general-purpose integration platforms on the market.
FlowFuse also enables Node-RED users to follow DevOps best practices across the software development lifecycle.
Because Node-RED has the most adoption in manufacturing and industrial enterprises, those industries are also the addressable market for FlowFuse.
