We'll explore proven architectures for cloud and edge to eliminate single points of failure and boost operational efficiency. -Choosing the right architecture isn’t just a matter of preference — it has a direct impact on scalability, reliability, and operational efficiency. A single centralized Node-RED instance may seem simple to manage at first, but it can become a bottleneck as workloads grow, introducing risks like a single point of failure or degraded performance. In this webinar, we'll highlight why many teams are moving toward distributed architectures — like running one instance per device or per workflow — to better align with production demands. -With options to host Instances in the Cloud, Self-Host or deploy to the Edge, discover what factors you should be considering when architecting your own deployments. +## Here’s a preview of what we'll walk through: -## Node-RED Architectures +- **How to decide with confidence** between cloud, edge, or hybrid architectures. +- **Proven ways to eliminate** single points of failure in your automation. +- **Deployment patterns** that work in real-world industrial environments. +- **Use cases from teams** already succeeding with distributed Node-RED at scale. -We'll cover the pros, cons, opportunities and limitations of running Node-RED in a variety of different architectures.
