| **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?

| 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

This was hand-generated so worrisome if it comes across that way. How does it read now - it has subheaders in h3.

| Right now, FlowFuse offers [Certified Nodes](https://flowfuse.com/integrations/?certified=1) across a wide variety of functions, offering official support for solutions like [ModBus](https://flowfuse.com/integrations/node-red-contrib-modbus/), [MongoDB](https://flowfuse.com/integrations/node-red-contrib-mongodb4/), [MCP](https://flowfuse.com/integrations/node-red-contrib-mcprotocol/), [OPC UA](https://flowfuse.com/node-red/flowfuse/edge/opcua/), and much more. We are constantly adding to this catalogue - with major additions planned in the coming weeks to expand this offering to even more devices and systems. |

These are the recommended nodes. Certified Nodes v2 includes a different set of nodes. You can check them here: https://flowfuse.com/integrations/

We need to add Blog tile ?
| answer: "Much unplanned downtime comes from a node that ran fine for months breaking when an update shifts an underlying behavior. FlowFuse tests Certified Nodes for compatibility against the version they're meant to run on, which removes that class of surprise-upgrade failure — valuable for any operation measured in nines of availability." | ||
| - question: "What happens if a node loses certification?" | ||
| answer: "Certification revocation acts as an early-warning system. If a node you rely on stops meeting the security or quality bar, FlowFuse notifies affected customers, so you learn about the problem before it becomes an incident rather than discovering it in an outage." | ||
| - question: "Which FlowFuse tiers include Certified Nodes?" |

| Every Certified Node is tested for reliability and compatibility, so it behaves consistently across versions and in production. This reduces the vetting work on your end and shortens time to value. We select proven open-source nodes, sub-license proprietary nodes where it makes sense, and build custom integrations when needed. The result is one catalogue of dependable integrations, without having to evaluate new vendors or manage separate licenses. |
| FlowFuse implements secure design and architecture by default, and this process extends to the Certified Nodes platform. Every node is checked, validated, and then secured via ongoing reviews per an SLA. This means that you don't stress, especially when fixes are time sensitive, converting a worry-mode update-fest to a smooth 5-minute task. | ||

| ### 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. |

| When a Certified Node causes an issue, FlowFuse provides troubleshooting help and a clear path to resolution, rather than an open-ended issue queue. Certification also means FlowFuse support, so you're working with a person who can help, not just documentation that may or may not apply to your situation. |
