Scaling limits of node-red

Hello, I am not able to find any scaling limits of node-red. I want to use it for enterprise level. Can it handle that much load or need to be integrated with Airflow? If yes, then do we have a plugin/code to integrate with Airflow and execute a DAG?

Fist of all welcome! :slightly_smiling_face:

But what does that mean??

We use Node RED in an "enterprise" setting, that communicates with "Staff"

  • ~300 Engineers
    • Around 550 devices
  • ~ 270 Vehicles (tracking)
  • ~170 Office staff
  • Around 7 Different supplier APIs

and it does just fine

You need to be more precise than using the term "enterprise" - its not a measure
The system running the instance plays a crucial role!

One thing to note : Its single threaded (that's JS for you)

Airflow has an extensive API and executing a DAG is a matter of an API call.
Node-RED is king in talking to API's and you don't necessarily need a plugin/node to make this happen as the built-in http-request node can do this.
