Apache Pulsar is a cloud-native messaging and event-streaming platform originally developed at Yahoo, now an open-source project with a rich ecosystem and extensive features such as durability, scalability, and multi-tenancy. It aims to reduce architectural complexity and improve efficiency for high-scale microservices, demonstrated by its application in a major Chinese payment provider where it streamlined operations and enhanced fraud detection capabilities. With over 10 million downloads and a growing community, Pulsar supports both streaming and batch processing, making it a versatile choice for modern data architectures.
