# More Appkata Examples to Try on Fly

There are two new additions to our Appkata collection of example apps, one’s a secured Redis and the other is Node-RED, a powerfule online application construction kit. Try them out today!

The latest additions to our [Appkata collection of example apps](https://fly.io/blog/appkata-example-apps-on-fly/) have landed and they cover how to fit Fly to your selected applications and are some super useful apps anyway. So let’s dive in.

## Node-RED

Ever wanted to be able to dive into your cloud application and graphically wire up a dashboard or data transfer? You can with Node-RED, a GUI flow programming environment that hails from the world of IoT. It’s built on top of Node and has a vast library of modules so you can create flows which bridge MQTT, Redis, Graphana, and more with your own logic. Or you can turn the data into a web dashboard. It’s a powerful tool and the new Appkata guide will get it up and running quickly.

- Read the [guide](https://fly.io/docs/app-guides/node-red/), browse the [example](https://github.com/fly-apps/appkata-noder-red/) and discuss it in the [Fly Community](https://community.fly.io/t/node-red-on-fly-now-an-appkata-example/413)

## Redis with TLS

Our first set of examples included Redis as a simple service, but we wanted to give you a more solid version. Enter [Redis with TLS](https://fly.io/docs/app-guides/redistls/). This uses `mkcert` to make it as quick and simple as possible to create TLS certificates so you can secure your Redis. It uses techniques I wrote about on the developer site [dev.to](https://dev.to/codepope/certificates-for-your-cloud-backend-50ga).
