What is Apache Pulsar?

Apache Pulsar is a cloud-oriented distributed messaging and streaming platform that was originally created at Yahoo! and is now acknowledged as a top-level project by the Apache Software Foundation. Its deployment is notably simple, thanks to a lightweight computing model and intuitive APIs that remove the need for users to manage their own stream processing systems. With over five years of production use at Yahoo!, Pulsar has proven its capability to handle millions of messages per second across a multitude of topics. Designed from the ground up as a multi-tenant architecture, it inherently supports critical features such as isolation, authentication, authorization, and quota management. Furthermore, it offers the ability to configure data replication across data centers situated in diverse geographical locations. Pulsar's persistent message storage, which leverages Apache BookKeeper, provides guaranteed IO-level isolation for writing and reading operations, enhancing system performance. Additionally, a RESTful admin API is available, which aids in the provisioning, management, and monitoring processes. This unique blend of functionalities positions Apache Pulsar as a powerful and reliable solution for contemporary messaging and streaming requirements, ensuring it meets the demands of various applications and industries.
