Get started with Node-RED
Learn the basics of Node-RED and get up and running with these blogs, tutorials, and code patterns.
What is Node-RED?
Node-RED is a low-code programming environment for event-driven applications. It uses flow-based programming to let you draw a visual representation of how messages should flow through the application.
Get up and running
Put the Node-RED concepts into practice by building your first Node-RED applications.
Create your first Node-RED application
Create a Node-RED starter application in IBM Cloud, including a Cloudant database to store the application flow configuration.
Create both a secure web service and a dashboard using Node-RED
Build an application that analyzes earthquake-related data along with weather data to understand when and where earthquakes are happening around the world.
Next steps
Put your Node-RED knowledge to work with these code patterns and tutorials.
Create your own nodes from APIs and services
Learn how to create a customized node for a RESTful deep learning microservice, providing access to that service's API in your Node-RED flows.
