NiFi design

Learn about the NiFi design decisions that impact Flow Management cluster sizing.

NiFi is designed to use all the available resources of the nodes where it is running. NiFi takes advantage of:

• All available cores

• All the network capacity

• All the disk speed and capacities

	Note
	It is crucial to understand that NiFi data flow behavior depends on three major factors: data flow source flow operations during data transfer data flow target
