Hi Eric, My machine is a:
2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB Mac Book Pro. To compile the whole project it takes about 10-14 minutes. (the more powerful your CPU is and the more cores you have, will drive this down when compiling with -T 2.0C flag.) To run in standalone mode (non-clustered) NiFi can run basically on any machine. The speed of processing data with it will be faster if you have faster CPU, and fast / multiple SSDs. If you plan to run NiFi clustered on your machine (either through docker-compose or in multiple virtual machines), then you will need more ram and cores that you can assign to the docker engine / the virtual machines. My machine fits the job well for standalone mode and compile. (However i am not running NiFi in clustered mode on this machine). So it really depends on what you intend to do.
