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! 🙂
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.
