Flowhub IDE vs. Node-RED vs. Node.js vs. dbForge Query Builder for SQL Server Comparison Chart

Flowhub IDE is a tool for building full-stack applications in a visual way. With the ecosystem of flow-based programming environments, you can use Flowhub to create anything from distributed data processing applications to internet-connected artworks. Flow-based programming for JavaScript. Runs in both browser and Node.js. Flow-based environment for distributed, heterogeneous data processing with message queues. Flow-based programming for microcontrollers like Arduinos. Toolkit for building IoT systems. Flowhub supports any runtimes compatible with the FBP protocol. You can integrate any custom dataflow systems with it. Coding starts on the white-board. Keep it that way with Flowhub! The “graph” displays your software flow clearly, concisely and beautifully. Flowhub has been designed ground-up for touchscreen usage, enabling you to work on your tablet while on the go. For component editing a keyboard might still be nice, though.

As an asynchronous event-driven JavaScript runtime, Node.js is designed to build scalable network applications. Upon each connection, the callback is fired, but if there is no work to be done, Node.js will sleep. This is in contrast to today's more common concurrency model, in which OS threads are employed. Thread-based networking is relatively inefficient and very difficult to use. Furthermore, users of Node.js are free from worries of dead-locking the process, since there are no locks. Almost no function in Node.js directly performs I/O, so the process never blocks except when the I/O is performed using synchronous methods of Node.js standard library. Because nothing blocks, scalable systems are very reasonable to develop in Node.js. Node.js is similar in design to, and influenced by, systems like Ruby's Event Machine and Python's Twisted. Node.js takes the event model a bit further. It presents an event loop as a runtime construct instead of as a library.
