About Cloudera DataFlow
Cloudera DataFlow for the Public Cloud (CDF-PC) is a cloud-native universal data distribution service powered by Apache NiFi that lets developers connect to any data source anywhere with any structure, process it, and deliver to any destination. CDF-PC offers a flow-based low-code development paradigm that aligns best with how developers design, develop, and test data distribution pipelines. With over 400+ connectors and processors across the ecosystem of hybrid cloud services—including data lakes, lakehouses, cloud warehouses, and on-premises sources—CDF-PC provides indiscriminate data distribution. These data distribution flows can then be version-controlled into a catalog where operators can self-serve deployments to different runtimes.
