Node-RED

Node-RED is an open-source, low-code programming tool designed for event-driven applications. It allows users to build flows to collect, transform, and visualize real-time data, suitable for various applications from home automation to industrial control systems. It supports deployment on edge devices and cloud platforms, with an extensive community-contributed library of nodes and flows.

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.
