Use the best in class open source solution for managing and integrating data without the hassle of maintaining a secured, scalable cluster. Using DataJet you can build data flows that are as simple or complex and you like with no code. Join millions of data engineers and developers in using the Apache NiFi based platform to build anything from database replication to ETL to IoT data ingestion.

I wonder how successful are these "managed as a service" startups.

Really? What do you think this link is? It just goes to a landing page to sell you and get you to sign up. This is an obvious advertisement, why do you only notice when someone makes it a comment instead of a link?

Submitting a startup is very much permitted on HN. [0] Startups are the business Y Combinator are in, after all.
I assumed, as you did, that amig0ld works for this project, and is cynically ad-spamming HackerNews. My comment was intended to invite a meaningful reply. This now seems unlikely, but it was worth a shot.
(The amig0ld account was created January 2013. Its only other activity was in May 2013 - another self-promoting submission.)

However, when you use marketing babble in a comment, it adds no value to the conversation. "Join millions of..." that is just not helpful to the HN conversation.
Now, if the comment was -- "we developed this to try and solve X problem for Y users. Let use know what you think or if you have questions..." -- then it might have been a useful place to start the conversation. Marketing copy is not.
(And they probably did more harm than good by posting that comment)
That's cool! I looked at NiFi for a past company and it seemed pretty put together. IIRC, the UI felt a bit dated like Java Swing, but the capabilities were awesome. That said, two worries: * marketing this is going to be a bigger lift. Folks don't build data flows for fun, they use them to solve business problems. What business problems will this solve? * "visual" programming claims always make me suspicious, becaus…
Yes, but if each node is a well-defined data transformation, visual flows are a great way to express overall processing.
I.e., it's not general visual programming, which is a hard problem.
NiFi is underrepresented online although it's very capable. Currently extending a thousands of steps dataflow and it's a breeze.
