A prominent technology discussed is Apache NiFi — an open-source data integration tool capable of handling various data formats and ensuring standardized collection. NiFi’s architecture allows it to treat all data objects uniformly, regardless of whether they're images, reports, or database records.
Benefits include:
Visual flow design resembling tools like Photoshop
Support for diverse connectors and transformations
Provenance tracking for data traceability
Real-time monitoring and control
NiFi's strength lies in its capacity to process heterogeneous data efficiently, making it an ideal backbone for enterprise data pipelines.
