NiFi allows us to organize our ingestion as the directed graphs and provides a useful GUI, that can be used to configure the system and monitor data flows.
Apache NiFi is praised for its ease of use, enabling fast pipeline development and real-time data handling, bridging on-premises and cloud interactions to enhance productivity. It supports ETL and ELT processes, reducing development time and costs. However, challenges exist with cloud-native claims, reliability, and scalability versus Spark. Integration with development tools, JSON processing, and CI/CD deployments face difficulties requiring improvement. The tool offers promising features but demands careful consideration of its limitations.
