| **Security:** FlowFuse proactively resolves potential vulnerabilities and revokes certification from any node that falls short - and notifies affected customers when that happens, so you're never the last to find out. Your nodes are secure by default - removing an entire headache from your workflow. | ||
|
|
||
| **Support:** When a Certified Node gives you trouble, you get real troubleshooting help and a defined path to resolution, not an unanswered issue queue. FlowFuse node certification also means FlowFuse supported - so you get real, human support, not automatically generated documentation that may or may not map to solutions. |

I think the long term goal is to support each minor semver version for a decade. We cannot promise that today, but if you've built something now, it should continue to work and improve long term. (Performance etc)

Is that something we want to call out here, or do we want to be somewhat general in our public stance to give us flexibility?

@ZJvandeWeg I added in a bunch of content to match these requests. Please take a look and let me know what you think. @PabloFilomeno83 let me know once you run your review. |

| But if your flows touch sensitive data, fall under industry regulations, carry any uptime obligations, or back a team that can't afford to debug alone, then the vetting, monitoring, and support you'd otherwise have to build yourself is exactly what FlowFuse provides. The value is not just in the nodes themselves - it's in handing off work that was quietly becoming yours by default. | ||

Are we going to talk about previously certified nodes as well? Also, since this blog will be published alongside the launch of the OPC UA node, I think we should cover that and remove the reference to node-red-contrib-opcua, as that's not the node we're certifying. The certification is for Sterfive's OPC UA node, so we should make that clear in the blog

| FlowFuse certifies a node against three pillars, each aimed at a specific failure mode. | ||
|
|

| **Quality:** Every Certified Node is tested for operational reliability and compatibility, so it behaves predictably across versions instead of surprising you in production. This means no more guesswork, no more deep vetting, and significantly quicker time to value. We pick only the best-in-class OSS nodes, sub-license best-in-class properietary nodes, and build custom integrations for FlowFuse users. This means you get true best-in-class integrations in a single catalog - with no need to select new vendors or navigate complex licenses. |

This is a bit too much AI for my taste. The bold combined with the :, it's offputting to me
