Apache NiFi

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.

Pros

    CData Connect AI

    CData Connect AI is the AI gateway that makes AI more accurate, for less. Built on CData's enterprise MCP platform, it gives every agent, copilot, and model one governed path to hundreds of enterprise systems, including Salesforce, NetSuite, SAP, ServiceNow, Workday, Snowflake, and Databricks, over live data instead of stale copies. Unlike gateways that only proxy traffic to model providers, Connect AI starts at the source connection.
