AWS Fargate vs Apache NiFi comparison

"The most valuable features of this solution are ease of use and implementation."

"The most valuable feature has been the range of clients and the range of connectors that we could use."

"Visually, this is a good product."

"The initial setup is very easy. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, where one point is difficult, and ten points are easy."

"It is highly effective for handling real-time data by working with APIs for immediate and continuous data extraction."

"Apache NiFi is user-friendly. Its most valuable features for handling large volumes of data include its multitude of integrated endpoints and clients and the ability to create cron jobs to run tasks at regular intervals."

"The initial setup is very easy."

"It's an automated flow, where you can build a flow from source to destination, then do the transformation in between."

"AWS Fargate automatically scales to meet demand, making it ideal for applications with variable workloads."

"I like their containerization service. You can use Docker or something similar and deploy quickly without the know-how related to, for example, Kubernetes. If you use AKS or Kubernetes, then you have to have the know-how. But for Fargate, you don't need to have the know-how there. You just deploy the container or the image, and then you have the container, and you can use it as AWS takes care of the rest. This makes it easier for those getting started or if you don't have a strong DevOps team inside your organization."

"All AWS services allow me to manage a wide range of applications and services."

"Fargate's integration with other AWS services is really good."

"AWS Fargate has many valuable services. It does the job with minimal trouble. It's very observable. You can see what's going on and you have logs. You have everything. You can troubleshoot it. It's affordable and it's flexible."

"By using a server's compute resources, one can observe the resource metrics. With AWS, one can determine when servers will be used based on CloudWatch results. For example, CloudWatch informs the application and service platform when the hit ratio has reached the threshold value."

"It allows for focusing on applications instead of managing infrastructure."

"AWS Fargate is a fully managed service, and it's very easy to use compared to other services like Elastic Beanstalk Service (EBS)."

"More features must be added to the product."

"The quality of JSON data processing could be improved, as JSON workloads require manual conversions without a specific process."

"There are some claims that NiFi is cloud-native but we have tested it, and it's not."

"I think the UI interface needs to be more user-friendly."

"There should be a better way to integrate a development environment with local tools."

"We run many jobs, and there are already large tables. When we do not control NiFi on time, all reports fail for the day. So it's pretty slow to control, and it has to be improved."

"There is room for improvement in integration with SSO. For example, NiFi does not have any integration with SSO. And if I want to give some kind of rollback access control across the organization. That is not possible."

"The use case templates could be more precise to typical business needs."

"I would like to see the older dashboard instead of the newer version. I don't like the new dashboard."

"There are features that could be added or enhanced."

"I heard from my team that it's not easy to predict the cost. That is the only issue we have with AWS Fargate, but I think that's acceptable. AWS Fargate isn't user-friendly. Anything related to Software as a Service or microservice architecture is not easy to implement. You're required to have DevOps from your side to implement the solution. AWS Fargate is just a temporary solution for us. When we grow to a certain level, we may use AKS for better control."

"Service computing is not as straightforward compared to other computing services. It requires more effort to use effectively."

"We faced challenges in vertically scaling our workload."

"AWS Fargate needs improvement in terms of setup complexity."

"I would like to see enhanced faster application scaling and better integration with the elastic file system to unify storage volumes and improve the launch time of instances."

"If there are any options to manage containers, that would be good. That relates more to the cost point. For example, over the next three months, I'll be making a comparison between solutions like CAST AI and other software-as-a-service platforms that offer Kubernetes management with an emphasis on cost reduction."

"We use the free version of Apache NiFi."

"I used the tool's free version."

"It's an open-source solution."

"The solution is open-source."

"I rate the price of AWS Fargate a four out of five."

"We would advise that this solution has a slightly-higher price point than others on the market. There is a free plan available for start-ups, but the free and lower range licensing models do not provide the full functionality."
