On the Roadmap
Feature: Hosting
FlowForge can be deployed using Docker, Kubernetes or run the core FlowForge platform on your local machine directly.
FlowForge Cloud provides you with a browser-based, secure and cloud-based platform, with all of the FlowForge Premium features included and managed by us to reduce your operational overheads.
Feature: Multiple Projects
Scale your Node-RED infrastructure with as many Node-RED instances as you need.
In FlowForge, a Project manages your instance of Node-RED, attached devices, context, environment variables, and version history.
Feature: Easy Node-RED Upgrades
Enable users to upgrade their Node-RED with a few clicks as new versions are released.
Our intuitive UI makes it clear when projects are running out-of-date stacks, so you have piece of mind over your flows running the latest and greatest versions.
Feature: Project Templates
Spin up instances of Node-RED with all the relevant settings and Node-RED nodes already installed, customised to your own development environments.
Feature: Individual Project Configuration
Control all Node-RED settings on a project-by-project basis, set Environment Variables for deployment and precise configuration of how your Node-RED instances run.
Feature: Audit Log
Keep track of everything going on in your Node-RED instances and FlowForge.
Audit Logs provide details on what actions have taken place, when they happened, and who did them.
Feature: Team-Based Configuration
Manage all of your Node-RED projects in FlowForge Teams, control access and Team-level settings in a central place to reduce operational overhead.
Feature: Role-Based Access Control
FlowForge's intuitive team management tooling makes it easy for you to control whom has access to what.
Feature: Edge Device Management
Manage and control thousands of devices in FlowForge. Define your flow in one central place, then one-click deploy remotely to the edge, all from within FlowForge.
Feature: Version History
FlowForge Snapshots provide capability to save backups of your flows. Revert back to past versions, and use those Snapshots to deploy out to remote devices.
Feature: Persistent File Storage
Read & write to files in your Project flows. These will persist beyond container and project restarts and upgrades.
Feature: Single Sign-On (SSO)
FlowForge can be configured to run with your own Single Sign-On (SSO) provider. Allow users to access FlowForge with a single set of login credentials, improving security, user experience, and save them time.
Feature: Inter Project Communication
FlowForge Project Nodes enable the passing of data and messages between your Node-RED projects, included with all FlowForge Projects by default.
Feature: Persistent Context Storage
In-memory values defined in a Node-RED flow will persist across project restarts and upgrades.
