Hello everyone, I have a software house and I am studying technologies and forms of development, to accelerate and improve the production of our software. I came across the idea of NodeRed (Visual programming) with a very rich ecosystem and I was excited. However, I would like to know if it is a go…

Hi @CarlosJong , generally, nothing speaks against using Node-RED for that purpose. But it depends on the specific use-case, of course.
