Real-Time Ingestion & Event Processing with Apache NiFi

UPDATE: New location. We are in the Havana Room at the 4240 Duncan Building. It's the same location as last month.

UPDATE: Apache NiFi committer Joey Frazee will be in town to present, and go over uses cases across multiple verticals and industries! We’ll have plenty of beer for everyone!

As one of the fastest growing Apache project, the 100% open-sourced Apache NiFi became a top-level Apache project within just a few months, and has gained tremendous attraction over the past year.

Apache NiFi is an integrated data logistics platform for automating the movement of data between disparate systems. It provides real-time control that makes it easy to manage the movement of data between any source and any destination. It is data source agnostic, supporting disparate and distributed sources of differing formats, schemas, protocols, speeds and sizes such as machines, geo location devices, click streams, files, social feeds, log files and videos and more. It is configurable plumbing for moving data around, similar to how Fedex, UPS or other courier delivery services move parcels around. And just like those services, Apache NiFi allows you to trace your data in real time, just like you could trace a delivery. Seamless integration with other top-level Apache projects, such as Ambari, Ranger & etc., provides the necessary enterprise capabilities: end-to-end security, Audit, Compliance, Operations, Compliance, and Governance.
