What is Cloudflow?
It enables you to quickly develop, orchestrate, and operate distributed streaming applications on Kubernetes. With Cloudflow, streaming applications are comprised of small composable components wired together with schema-based contracts. It can dramatically accelerate streaming application development—reducing the time required to create, package, and deploy—from weeks to hours.
Cloudflow is a tool in the Big Data Tools category of a tech stack.
Cloudflow is an open source tool with 323 GitHub stars and 94 GitHub forks. Here’s a link to Cloudflow's open source repository on GitHub

Cloudflow Alternatives & Comparisons
What are some alternatives to Cloudflow?
Kubernetes
Kubernetes is an open source orchestration system for Docker containers. It handles scheduling onto nodes in a compute cluster and actively manages workloads to ensure that their state matches the users declared intentions.
Docker Compose
With Compose, you define a multi-container application in a single file, then spin your application up in a single command which does everything that needs to be done to get it running.
Apache Spark
Spark is a fast and general processing engine compatible with Hadoop data. It can run in Hadoop clusters through YARN or Spark's standalone mode, and it can process data in HDFS, HBase, Cassandra, Hive, and any Hadoop InputFormat. It is designed to perform both batch processing (similar to MapReduce) and new workloads like streaming, interactive queries, and machine learning.
Rancher
Rancher is an open source container management platform that includes full distributions of Kubernetes, Apache Mesos and Docker Swarm, and makes it simple to operate container clusters on any cloud or infrastructure platform.
Docker Swarm
Swarm serves the standard Docker API, so any tool which already communicates with a Docker daemon can use Swarm to transparently scale to multiple hosts: Dokku, Compose, Krane, Deis, DockerUI, Shipyard, Drone, Jenkins... and, of course, the Docker client itself.
