What differentiates this from Apache NiFi?

• crankylinuxuser 8y ago
  Quite a lot, actually. Node-red is simple. It's meant for "talk to this api and do this thing". There's no real thought to flow, or queues, or any of the details of message passing infra. NiFi has queues at every level, and full customization of each. You can set each to either overflow a queue (and delete old messages) or force nodes to wait until handling is completed. There's also a strong sense of provenance in how data is handled. Auditing is baked in at every layer. Provenance and credential storage also allow me running my NiFi with my Reddit credentials to share the access to you, without ever exposing the credentials. Node-Red is a prototyping tool for making quick and dirty JS implementations of stuff. NiFi is a professional data routing engine.
