Overview
What is Apache Pulsar?
Apache Pulsar is a cloud-native, multi-tenant, high-performance solution for server-to-server messaging and queuing built on the publisher-subscribe (pub-sub) pattern. Pulsar combines the best features of a traditional messaging system like RabbitMQ with those of a pub-sub system like Apache Kafka — scaling up or down dynamically without downtime. It’s used by thousands of companies for high-performance data pipelines, microservices, instant messaging, data integrations, and more.
Originally developed by Yahoo, Pulsar is under the stewardship of the Apache Software Foundation.
