Apache NiFi is a powerful, easy-to-use platform for automating the flow of data between systems. This comprehensive course teaches you how to design, build, secure, and monitor robust data pipelines using NiFi’s intuitive drag-and-drop interface. It is ideal for data engineers, integration developers, and IT professionals seeking hands-on skills in real-time and batch data flow orchestration.
 
Designed with a project-based approach, this course starts with core NiFi concepts like processors, flows, and queues, and progresses into advanced topics including flowfile attributes, record processing, templates, clustering, and integration with databases, cloud, and messaging systems.
 
Whether you're orchestrating data for analytics, ETL pipelines, system integrations, or IoT platforms, this course equips you with the tools and techniques to build production-grade data flows in NiFi without writing a single line of code.

What You Will Gain
 
By the end of the course, you will have built real-world data pipelines such as:
  • A CSV-to-Database ETL flow for batch processing

  • A real-time log routing pipeline using Kafka and Elasticsearch

  • A cloud integration pipeline with AWS S3 and RDS

These projects showcase your ability to automate and manage data flows across diverse platforms with Apache NiFi.
 
You’ll also learn to:
  • Design and deploy scalable data pipelines using NiFi’s Flow-Based Programming (FBP) model

  • Use NiFi processors, controller services, and parameter contexts

  • Handle scheduling, backpressure, and retries

  • Monitor data lineage and performance metrics

  • Secure data flows using SSL, access policies, and user authentication


Who This Course Is For
 
This course is perfect for:
  • Data engineers and analysts working with large-scale data movement

  • ETL and integration developers

  • System administrators managing data ingestion pipelines

  • DevOps engineers automating data connectivity

  • Anyone looking to manage and route data without writing custom code

  3. Explore NiFi Registry – Learn versioning and CI/CD workflows for data flows.

  4. Use the Templates – Reuse modular flows with templates and parameterization.

  5. Observe the Data – Check provenance and queues to see how data behaves.

  6. Monitor Resource Usage – Learn performance tuning and queue thresholds.

  7. Secure Early – Practice access control, SSL certificates, and user roles from the start.


Why Learn Apache NiFi?
 
Apache NiFi is widely used in industries ranging from healthcare to banking for data ingestion, routing, and transformation. With visual drag-and-drop flow design, NiFi enables rapid pipeline development and seamless integration with big data tools, cloud services, and IoT devices. Learning NiFi will give you a competitive advantage in the modern data engineering landscape.

Interview Questions Back to Top
  1. What is Apache NiFi and what are its key features?
    Answer: Apache NiFi is a data flow management tool that supports routing, transformation, and system mediation logic. Key features include a visual UI, flow version control, backpressure handling, data provenance tracking, and built-in processors for hundreds of data systems.

  2. What is a FlowFile in NiFi?
    Answer: A FlowFile is the fundamental data object in NiFi. It consists of content (actual data) and attributes (metadata) and is passed through a flow for processing and transformation.

  3. What are Processors in NiFi?
    Answer: Processors are components in NiFi that perform specific operations on FlowFiles such as reading, writing, transforming, or routing. Examples include GetFile, PutDatabaseRecord, RouteOnAttribute.

  4. What is backpressure and how is it handled in NiFi?
    Answer: Backpressure is a flow control mechanism to prevent queues from consuming too much memory. It’s managed using thresholds based on object count or size, pausing upstream processors until space is available.

  5. How does NiFi ensure data provenance?
    Answer: NiFi records every action taken on a FlowFile in a provenance repository, allowing users to trace where data came from, how it was modified, and where it was sent—supporting audits and debugging.

  6. How do you handle secure access in NiFi?
    Answer: NiFi supports SSL/TLS for secure data transmission, and has user authentication (LDAP, Kerberos) and role-based access control (RBAC) for defining permissions on processors, flows, and settings.

  7. What is the role of NiFi Registry?
    Answer: NiFi Registry provides version control for data flows. It allows users to save, retrieve, and compare different versions of a flow, enabling flow lifecycle management and collaboration.

  8. How does NiFi differ from ETL tools like Apache Airflow or Talend?
    Answer: NiFi is designed for flow-based data movement with a focus on real-time processing, visual design, and integration. Airflow is task-scheduler-oriented, while Talend is code-intensive. NiFi’s strength lies in streaming and event-driven integration.

  9. How do you scale NiFi in a cluster?
    Answer: NiFi can run in a clustered mode where multiple nodes coordinate under a single Flow. Each node processes a portion of the data, enabling horizontal scaling. A Zookeeper-based coordinator ensures synchronization.

  10. Can you schedule and prioritize processors in NiFi?
    Answer: Yes, NiFi allows scheduling based on time intervals or event triggers. You can also set processor priorities and concurrent tasks to control execution behavior.
