The Node-Red project turns ten this year.🎉

And yet, its remarkable potential remains largely untapped in the industrial software domain.

Having been a Node-Red user and promoter since its early days, I've observed that its preparedness for enterprise deployments is a key challenge limiting its broader adoption.

To discover the most effective strategies for deploying and managing enterprise-grade Node-Red applications in Industrial IoT, I invited Nick O'Leary for a podcast conversation.

As the co-creator of Node-Red and the CTO and Founder of FlowForge—a DevOps platform for Node-Red—Nick brought invaluable insights to the discussion.

Below is the outline of our discussion.

​

✅ Origins and Evolution of Node-Red

✅ Challenges and best practices for deploying Node-RED in Industrial environments

✅ DevOps for Node-RED in IIoT

✅ Key Features of Enterprise Ready Node-RED

✅ Best practices for industrial data acquisition using Node-Red

✅ Suitability of Node-Red for Semantic Modelling

✅ Node-Red vs Off-Shelf Solutions

✅ Use cases for Edge vs Cloud deployment of Node-Red

✅ Best Practices for Scaling Node-Red in large-scale IIoT deployments.

✅ Access control, data encryption, and authentication in Node-Red.

✅ Examples of successful IIoT projects using Node-Red

✅ The Future of Node-Red in Industrial IoT Applications
