• Use NiFi to stream Data between different systems at scale
• Monitor Apache NiFi
• Integrate NiFi with Apache Kafka
• Integration NiFi with MongoDB 

Apache NiFi (Cloudera DataFlows – ex Hortonworks DataFlow) is an innovative technology to build data flows and solve your streaming challenges?

In today’s big data world, fast data is becoming increasingly important. Streaming data at scale and rapidly between all your systems should be centralised, automated and resilient to failure to ensure good delivery to your downstream systems.

With NiFi, you can build all your flows directly from a UI, no coding required, and at scale!

Apache NiFi initially used by the NSA so they could move data at scale and was then open sourced. Being such a hot technology, Onyara (the company behind it) was then acquired by Hortonworks, one of the main backers of the big data project Hadoop and then Hadoop Data Platform.

Apache NiFi is now used in many top organisations that want to harness the power of their fast data by sourcing and transferring information from and to their database and big data lakes. It is a key tool to learn for the analyst and data scientists alike. Its simplicity and drag and drop interface make it a breeze to use!
