Egor, This is really cool work and we're glad you're not only getting value out of nifi but creating value on top!
Would love to have you take a look at the registry/flow versioning work and concepts under way. Would be good to ensure that path allows you to keep doing what you're doing here and then some. [1] One thing I'd ask you to consider doing is creating a short video of how one might interact with terraform and then how the plugin would interact with it. This could really help show your automated configuration management vision. [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NIFI/Configuration+Management+of+Flows Thanks!
