As a new product in the market, we constantly have to make choices on how to name things. Naming things is hard! As you name a thing, say "Project", it might be suitable now, but the product evolves, and may outgrow the name such that it doesn’t fit anymore.

There is usually more than one way to complete a given task in software, and Node-RED is no exception. In each of this series of blog posts, we are going to share three useful tips to save yourself time when working on your flows.

Dashboards are a great feature of Node-RED, allowing you to easily expose data visualisations and interactive elements of your flows to users via a web browser. I often see discussions in the community about which dashboard option is best for any given scenario, I wanted to compare the most popular options as they stand in early 2023.

Over the past few months we've held a lot of product discovery sessions and a topic which keeps coming up is "HA Node-RED". All software will have failures, with HA (high availability) the intent is to allow the workload to be processed regardless. There's quite a few considerations which are often not covered during product discovery calls, I'm going to discuss some of those points in this article.

On January 27th, 2023, we were alerted to an issue on FlowFuse Cloud where a user was not able to access a newly created Node-RED Project, receiving a 404 error instead. This post examines the issue that was hit, the timeline of events and what we've done to resolve it.

Welcome to the FlowFuse newsletter for February 2023, a monthly roundup of what’s been happening with both FlowFuse and the wider Node-RED community.

During my first month at FlowFuse, I have been helping to refine the FlowFuse story. Trying to answer the questions: What is the value FlowFuse brings to our customers and what features does FlowFuse want to offer the Node-RED community?

Programs, written with Node-RED or otherwise, need to sometimes retrieve information that wasn’t decided on during the creation of the program.

Node-RED is a visual programming tool for working with IoT devices and web services. It allows users to create flows using a drag-and-drop interface, making it easy to connect different nodes together to build powerful automations.
