Apache NiFi is a software project from the Apache Software Foundation which enables the automation of data flow between systems. It can be described as data logistics. Similar to how parcel services move and track packages, Apache NiFi helps move and track data. The project is written using flow-based programming and provides a web-based user interface to manage dataflows in real time.
The project was created by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) and originally named Niagarafiles. In 2014 the NSA released it as open-source software, via its technology transfer program.
Development of Apache NiFi continued at Onyara, Inc., a startup company which was acquired by Hortonworks in August 2015
