6:00 PM - 7:15 PM: Bryan Bende

In this talk we will give an introduction to the core capabilities of Apache NiFi, including visual command and control, data lineage (Provenance), data prioritization, data buffering/back-pressure, control of latency vs. throughput, security of the control plane vs. data plane, scaling out with clustering, and extensibility. In addition, we will talk about the need for taking similar capabilities to smaller edge devices through the Apache NiFi sub-project MiNiFi. Finally, we will demonstrate a live example using MiNiFi for decision making at the edge and communicating results back to a central NiFi instance.

Speaker: Bryan Bende is a PMC Member and Committer on the Apache NiFi project, also a Software Engineer with Hortonworks. He has over ten years of experience developing enterprise software solutions, and received a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Maryland at College Park, and a M.S. in Computer Science from John Hopkins University.
