Welcome to the Stackhero documentation

Stackhero provides a fully managed Node-RED cloud environment designed to get you building workflows quickly:

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

You can have a secure, production-ready Node-RED cloud hosting instance running in about 5 minutes. Stackhero handles setup, updates, and infrastructure so you can focus on building 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 realized 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.
