This documentation is part of the Use case: connect mailboxes guide. You can view the complete guide here: Seamlessly connect hundreds of mailboxes in a post office.

Welcome to the Stackhero documentation

Stackhero offers a fully managed Node-RED cloud environment designed to help you build workflows quickly:

• Integrated MQTT server (Mosquitto) for seamless IoT integration.
• Full access to the Node-RED admin interface for managing your flows and settings.
• Node-RED Dashboard included for real-time visualisation.
• Dedicated SMTP email server included, with no sending limits.
• Effortless one-click updates to keep your instance up to date.
• Custom domain names with automatic HTTPS: for example, https://node-red.your-company.com.
• High performance and enhanced security thanks to private, dedicated infrastructure.

You can have a secure, production-ready Node-RED cloud hosting instance running in around 5 minutes. Stackhero takes care of installation, updates, and infrastructure, so you can focus on building your automations.

Node-RED served as the cornerstone of this project. With Stackhero's instance providing a secured MQTT server and an email server right out of the box, the project was realised in just a few hours, something that traditional tools could not match.

Node-RED offers limitless possibilities. You can, for instance, connect it to any API or database and add external modules effortlessly (~2000 modules are available!).

If Node-RED piques your interest, you can start an instance on Stackhero in just 2 minutes: Node-RED.
