Apache NiFi vs. AWS Glue

Apache NiFi is an open-source data integration platform designed to automate the flow of information between systems. It enables users to design, manage, and monitor data flows through an intuitive, web-based interface, facilitating real-time data ingestion, transformation, and routing without extensive coding. Originally developed by the National Security Agency (NSA) as "NiagaraFiles," NiFi was released to the open-source community in 2014 and has since become a top-level project under the Apache Software Foundation.

AWS Glue is a serverless data integration service that makes it easier for analytics users to discover, prepare, move, and integrate data from multiple sources for analytics, machine learning, and application develop-ment. You can discover and connect to 70+ diverse data sources, manage your data in a centralized data catalog, and visually create, run, and monitor ETL pipelines to load data into your data lakes. You can im-mediately search and query catalogued data using Amazon Athena, Amazon EMR, and Amazon Redshift Spectrum.
