FlowFuse is an open-core company investing in Node-RED. Nick O'Leary, co-creator of Node-RED is FlowFuse co-founder and CTO.

Node-RED is an open-source low-code programming tool, allowing developers to quickly and easily connect IoT devices, APIs, and online services by creating flow-based applications. It uses a drag-and-drop interface to wire together nodes, which can represent devices, APIs, or functions, to process data and create powerful automations.

Node-RED is very popular in the manufacturing industry for collecting factory data at the edge and transmitting it to a database or the cloud. Its visual programming environment makes it easy for non-traditional software developers to create data applications that accelerate innovation on the factory floor.

FlowFuse adds to Node-RED collaborative development, management of remote deployments, support for DevOps deliver pipelines and the ability to host Node-RED applications on FlowFuse Cloud. FlowFuse is the devops platform for Node-RED application development and delivery.
