Apache NiFi
An easy to use, powerful, and reliable system to process and distribute data
Apache NiFi is a system for processing and distributing data, designed to automate data pipelines and distribution across use cases such as cybersecurity, observability, event streams, and generative AI. It addresses the need to move, transform, and route data reliably, with features for loss-tolerant and guaranteed delivery, low latency and high throughput, dynamic prioritization, back pressure control, and runtime modification of flow configuration. Data provenance tracking provides complete lineage of information from beginning to end.
The platform includes a browser-based user interface for designing, controlling, and monitoring flows, along with secure communication via HTTPS, TLS, and SSH, configurable authentication strategies, and multi-tenant authorization and policy management. NiFi provides a framework for building processing pipelines from standard and custom components, including components that execute operating system commands and scripted components that run custom code in various languages. It is packaged as open-source software available for download, with documentation provided.
