Ep 34 Node-Red for IIoT in the Enterprise - [ Nick O’Leary, CTO Flowforge Inc ]

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.
