3. 2013: Created by IBM Emerging
   Technology Services and open
   sourced later that year
   2015: Added to the default
   Raspberry Pi image
   2016: Became a founding project of
   the JS Foundation.
   2018: Hit 1,000,000 installs

4. Flow Based Programming
   • Invented by J. Paul Morrison at IBM in early 1970’s
   • A network of asynchronous processes communicating by means of
   streams of structured data chunks
   • Each process is a black box – it doesn’t know what has come before it
   or what comes after it ; it just acts on the data it receives and passes
   the result on

12. From the Edge to the Cloud
    Easily installed on the default Raspberry Pi image,
    Node-RED can be used out of the box to begin
    creating IoT applications
    Available in the IBM Cloud catalog as a quick start application,
    it takes moments to create cloud applications that combine
    services across the platform.
    Easily installed on other cloud platforms.

16. Other Input Nodes
    HTTP – Act as an HTTP endpoint; great for building
    RESTful services
    IBMIoT – Receive messages from an attached Watson
    IoT Platform
    Also can receive from Websockets, MQTT (pick your own
    broker), TCP and MQ Light

17. Other Output Nodes
    HTTP Response; required as the final node
    when the input comes from an HTTP
    Request
    IBMIoT – send events out to the attached
    Watson IoT account
    Twilio – send SMS messages via the Twilio
    service
    IBM Push – Send Push notifications to
    mobile devices
    Also can send requests through TCP, UDP,
    MQLight, WebSockets.
