Apache NiFi Scalability

It's scalable. It can easily scale on multiple nodes. Depending on the workload, it also handles that internally; like the workers, they coordinate with each other, and they share the workload with each other. So, it's pretty good in terms of scalability.

I would rate the scalability a five out of ten because, in our experience, it doesn't scale correctly, especially if you don't use a Kubernetes system. 

If you want it to be scalable, you must use Kubernetes, but in our system, it's in VM and VM disc—external and not external. Increasing disc space is a very hard process. NiFi is not easily scalable. You can increase, but decreasing is not possible. So, it is easy to scale up, but scaling down is difficult.

There are around ten end users in our company. We plan to increase the further usage.

The scalability can be a little bit limited in the 2020 version so is rated a seven out of ten.

This solution is very scalable, depending on how the solution is implemented.

We have four or five administrators who manage this solution.

It depends on the frequency of the data source and the use case on often it is being used, but generally, it is used intensively.

Scaling this product means using a bigger and more powerful machine. If it were cloud-native then it would be different.
