Apache Pulsar in Action is a comprehensive and practical guide to building high-traffic applications with Pulsar, delivering extreme levels of speed and durability. You’ll start with Pulsar’s fundamentals, each illustrated by real-world examples, then move on to deploying a Pulsar server, ingesting data from third-party systems, deploying lightweight computing logic with simple functions, and more. At the end of this practical book, you’ll be ready to fully take advantage of Pulsar to create high-traffic message-driven applications.

Distributed applications demand reliable, high-performance messaging. The Apache Pulsar server-to-server messaging system provides a secure, stable platform without the need for a stream processing engine like Spark. Apache Pulsar in Action is a hands-on guide to building scalable streaming messaging systems for distributed applications and microservices systems.

Apache Pulsar in Action is the missing guide that will walk you through your journey with Apache Pulsar. It is a book that I’d recommend to anyone, from developers starting to explore pub-sub messaging, to someone with messaging experience, up to experienced Pulsar power users.

Pulsar was designed from the ground up with the objective of bridging these two worlds, pub-sub messaging and streaming analytics, that are too often isolated in different silos. We worked toward creating an infrastructure that would represent a next generation of real-time data platforms, where one single system would be able to support all the use cases throughout the entire life cycle of data events. Over time, that vision has expanded further, as can be clearly seen from the wide range of components described in this book. The project has added support for lightweight processing with Pulsar Functions, the Pulsar IO connectors framework, support for data schema, and many other features. What has not changed is the ultimate goal of creating the most scalable, flexible, and reliable platform for real-time data, and allowing any user to process the data stored in Pulsar in the most convenient form.
