While I personally never used Node-Red to build anything, I am now a fan of this technology for a simple reason: I saw non-developers happily creating & deploying working and reasonable-quality solutions with it (more than I can say about several tools to supposedly allow non-developers to build working software).

When someone in the business team mentioned they were using this tool to automate a few flows I assumed it would be an abject failure (as happened in so many similar projects I saw before - in some cases in multi-million deployments with huge teams of tools such as PEGA ).

Fast forward a couple of weeks and to my surprise an entire pipeline of needs from the operation where solved/fulfilled with almost no interaction from anyone in the development team. More than that: the end result is understandable.

Cavet emptor, maybe other teams will build horrible piles of crap with it, etc, etc but overall I am still impressed.
