About Apache NiFi
Apache NiFi originated at the US National Security Agency as 'Niagarafiles' and was donated to the Apache Software Foundation in 2014. Data flows are built by connecting processors on a drag-and-drop canvas; each piece of data (a FlowFile) is tracked end to end with full provenance. NiFi provides back pressure, prioritized queues, guaranteed delivery and hundreds of processors for databases, message queues, cloud storage and APIs, making it a common choice for data ingestion and ETL. NiFi 2.x added Python processors and a modernized UI.
