This is a simple use case of pushing Tweets to Kafka.   We can do a lot more than that in NiFi.   If you see the referenced article I can do Deep Learning on Tweet Images, Run Sentiment Analysis, Query the Tweets in Stream, Send messages to email / slack based on certain criteria and retweet automagically.  All with No Code.

It is extremely easy to do this in NiFi.
