What it does
FME transforms and integrates data through visual workflows. FME Form provides the authoring environment, with inspection, breakpoints, caching, and reusable transformation components.
Build a source-to-destination workspace in FME Form and inspect intermediate features using breakpoints and caching. Flow deploys and automates those designs; Flow Hosted is the AWS-managed SaaS route, alongside on-premise and hybrid deployment. The Easy Translator tutorial uses a generic reader/writer with dynamic schema and source/output parameters, then publishes a Flow app whose selected output is downloadable. File uploads and authentication are app configuration choices. Form is required to create and test the workflows used by Flow. The platform uses subscription pricing.
