Too Long; Didn't Read
Node-RED is a flow-based programming tool that allows you to design processes (aka flows) by wiring together microservices. What can take minutes in NodeJS can be achieved in a fraction of the time using the tool. This is the first article of my Up and Running with Node-Red series, with many more to come that will focus on all areas of Node-red, from basic to advanced functionality, to real-world scenarios. I'm going to compare a simple NodeJS Express App with a node-RED Flow, which will show you the time saving to be had.
