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 ​
