Node-RED

Summary
Node-RED is a low-code programming tool designed for event-driven applications. It enables users to collect, transform, and visualize real-time data through a drag-and-drop interface. The platform supports a wide range of applications, from home automation to industrial control systems, and is backed by a large community.
Rationale
Node-RED is a low-code platform that allows users to connect APIs, databases, and other services using a drag-and-drop interface. It supports code customization with JavaScript functions and offers a library of prebuilt nodes (components). The platform can be deployed in various environments, aligning with the flexible deployment feature. While it doesn't explicitly mention access control and security, the focus on data transformation and automation suggests it's a key aspect of the platform.
