Derived from the concepts of flow-based programming, NiFi automates data flow management and helps address challenges that typically arise in the context of processing data from multiple enterprise systems. Its user-friendly graphical interface makes it easy to create, monitor, and control data flows. It can be configured to achieve different needs, such as loss tolerance versus guaranteed delivery, low latency versus high throughput. NiFi’s loosely coupled component-based architecture further makes it easy to develop reusable modules and carry out more effective tests.
