Apache NiFi is a tool used to create Data Pipelines via a drag/drop interface and is designed to automate the flow of data between systems. It fits into the ‘no code/low code’ category of tools, primarily geared towards companies who feel less comfortable writing and managing code or building a solution that requires a significant amount of engineering effort.

What can NiFi be used for?

NiFi is good at reliably transferring data between platforms e.g. Kafka to ES and allows you to perform some lightweight ETL during the process. It can enrich and prepare data, perform conversion between data formats, change named fields and filter/route data to different locations.
