Streaming wars and How Apache Pulsar is acing the battle

This presentation will cover why we prefer Apache Pulsar over other streaming solutions. Given the streaming requirements of near-realtime action, scalability, high availability, disaster recovery, load balancing, low cost of operations, multi-tenancy and flexibility to fit a variety of use cases, we have run kafka, kinesis and NATS Jetstream across different use cases. And we chose Apache Pulsar as our platform of choice for cloud-native messaging.
This talk presents the operational challenges we have faced running Pulsar for over 4 years and how Pulsar fit into different use cases given its multi-tenancy and configurability. We will also talk about how we have aced these challenges to stick to pulsar and even moved application from other messaging solutions to Pulsar. We will end with the challenges and learnings on moving to Pulsar from Kafka and Kinesis.
After this session, you will learn more on common messaging requirements, why you should also choose Apache Pulsar as your platform of choice and how you can safely transition to Pulsar if you have been running other messaging solutions.
