Low-Code Development

Node-RED logo

Node-RED is at the core of the FlowFuse platform. The low-code visual programming environment is the development experience you enjoy when using FlowFuse. This includes accessing the large community of Node-RED nodes to connect with various protocols, hardware platforms, databases, services, and more. Led by the creator of Node-RED and CTO of FlowFuse, Nick O’Leary, our team is deeply invested in the Node-RED Community and is committed to the success of the open-source project.

Data Sharing and Storage

FlowFuse adds to a Node-RED environment the ability to share information between instances and persistent data. FlowFuse Project Nodes facilitate data and message exchange between Node-RED projects, ideal for edge-to-cloud communication.

Remote Device Management at the Edge

FlowFuse allows you to deploy and manage Node-RED instances out to edge devices. This allows you to deploy the exact same instance out to hundreds or thousands of edge devices and monitor their status.

Software Delivery Pipelines

DevOps pipelines can be set up to stage Node-RED instances that have different development stages such as test, development and production.

Version History

Snapshots of Node-RED instances can be taken to create a version history of the development work. Previous snapshot versions can be rolled back at any time.

Team Collaboration

Different development team members are able to share and develop on the same Node-RED instance making collaboration easier. Role based access control (RBAC) allows for restrictions on what team members can access and do while using the FlowFuse platform.

Built-in Security

All Node-RED instances are accessed using TLS/SSL. Single Sign-on (SSO) allows for users to sign in to FlowFuse using an existing SAML identity provider and Audit logs keep track of all changes that occur to a Node-RED instance and which user was responsible for the change.
