Pre-configured, production-ready NiFi environments backed by 24/7 expert support

In today's data-driven world, the ability to collect, route, transform, and monitor data in real-time is mission-critical. Whether you're streaming logs from remote IoT sensors, processing patient records securely, or integrating financial transactions across systems, data flow orchestration is the foundation of your infrastructure.

That’s why teams are turning to Apache NiFi, the powerful open-source data flow platform and now, with Meetrix’s Apache NiFi AMI on AWS Marketplace, you can deploy it in minutes, fully configured and enterprise-ready.

What Is Apache NiFi?

Apache NiFi is a robust, open-source data integration tool designed to automate the movement and transformation of data across systems. Originally developed by the NSA and now maintained by the Apache Software Foundation, NiFi enables:

Visual flow design with a drag-and-drop interface
Real-time data ingestion from virtually any source (databases, sensors, APIs, streams)
Routing, filtering, transforming, and enriching data on the fly
Secure data transfers with end-to-end traceability
Built-in support for back pressure, prioritization, and load balancing

Why Use Meetrix to Deploy Apache NiFi?
