Built on the simplicity of Node-RED, FlowFuse adds the tools teams need to scale automation workflows with confidence. FlowFuse is an Industrial application platform that helps organizations build and manage powerful data-driven applications using Node-RED.
We make it easy to connect systems, automate processes, and build industrial or digital solutions - all while giving IT teams the control, security, and scalability they need. Whether you are an engineer, a developer, or a company scaling up operations, FlowFuse bridges the gap between innovation and reliability.
Overview
FlowFuse is a software platform that helps companies manage and scale applications built with Node-RED, a popular visual programming tool used to automate tasks and connect systems. While Node-RED allows users to quickly create powerful applications by wiring together different building blocks, it becomes difficult to manage once used across many devices, teams, or environments. That is where FlowFuse comes in. FlowFuse adds the structure, tools, and safety needed to use Node-RED in professional and industrial settings. It allows companies to organize and control multiple Node-RED instances, whether they are running on the cloud or on physical machines like factory equipment. With FlowFuse, users can develop applications, test them safely, and deploy them to different environments without fear of breaking things. Teams can work together more effectively thanks to user access controls, audit logs, and centralized monitoring. It supports both SaaS and self-hosted models, so companies can keep full control when needed, especially in industries with strict security or privacy requirements. Ultimately, FlowFuse transforms the speed and flexibility of Node-RED into something reliable, scalable, and secure - making it suitable not just for individual developers or hobbyists, but for entire organizations running critical systems. It gives companies the confidence to innovate quickly while staying in control.
Highlights
- Allows Organisations to manage fleets of Node-RED instances using RBAC
- Push flows to device at the edge

FlowFuse - an impressive low-code tool for data and systems integration
Reviewed on Jun 10, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Adds enterprise-level security, interoperability and administration features to the widely known Node-RED low code IOT visual programming tool. It's quick to learn (our pilot project team developed integrations in half the time we estimated) and runs reliably. It's aimed at moderately technical people who understand the systems that they are integrating, and it makes life for those people much easier. We chose to deploy it in our own data centres, which worked well, and a variety of SaaS options are also available. We were easily able to configure the platform for single-sign-on and MFA. On the few occasions we have needed support we have been speaking to an experienced engineer within an hour, and had the problem resolved quickly. The system has been running some key system integrations for us for the last year, and we are looking to expand our use across many more projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Less suitable for non-technical users, so in a different space than some business-focused automation tools that hide the technology. That's not necessarily a criticism - it depends who your users are.
The self-hosting options for large installations are best suited for organizations with modern private cloud infrastructure.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Integration between corporate IT systems running on-premises and externally hosted SaaS systems, some involving complex integration logic, e.g. filtering and enriching data before delivering it, handling business events and using them to trigger multiple processes. Over the next year this is expected to eliminate a large amount of currently manual work and give users a near-real-time view of the data they need.

Best low-code platform ever!

What do you like best about the product?
FlowFuse is the best and professional way to host Node-RED on cloud. Node-RED allows you to develop applications, integrations, user interfaces in a visual, fast, drag and drop way, using no-code, or low-code concept. FlowFuse is not VPS rental, but instances rental. You have no headaches like virtual machine and security administration. There are many other features, such as remote instances administration, easy setup, flows versioning, git integration, one-click deply, built-in mqtt server, custom domain for instances, multi-user dashboards, and so on.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, you have to look hard to find a negative point. If I had to list one, I would say that the management of multiple users and permissions on the dashboard could be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast proof of concept presentation, rapid ideas implementation, app development flexibility without having to resort to outsourced works.

An essential tool for Node-RED in IIoT applications
Reviewed on Jun 02, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I'm using FlowFuse to manage distributed Node-RED instances in an industrial IoT setup. What I really like is the ability to keep track of flow versions, deploy changes in a controlled way, and have full audit logs of who did what. The fact that it's open source is a big plus. Together with Node-RED, FlowFuse feels like a Swiss Army knife for IIoT. Lightweight, flexible, and extremely useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there’s not much I dislike. If I had to mention something, it would be that getting started with some of the more advanced features might require a bit of a learning curve—especially if you're new to managing multiple Node-RED instances.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m using FlowFuse to connect industrial machines with existing systems like ERP and MES. It also helps me automate processes across different machines by linking them together through Node-RED. With FlowFuse, I can manage everything centrally, keep track of changes, and roll out updates reliably—even across multiple locations. That saves time and avoids chaos in production environments.
