SAN FRANCISCO, October 27, 2020 -- Apache Pulsar, an open-source, cloud-native, distributed messaging and streaming platform that manages hundreds of billions of events per day, continues to gain momentum among major technology companies including Yahoo!, Tencent, Iterable, and Splunk. The platform offers horizontal scalability, cloud-native infrastructure, automatic data rebalancing, multi-tenancy, geo-replication, and tiered storage capabilities.
Splunk Adopts Apache Pulsar
At Splunk's .conf20 conference, Chief Product Officer Sendur Sellakumar announced the company's transition from Kafka to Pulsar for its Data Stream Processor (DSP), calling it "our bet on long term architecture for enterprise-grade multi-tenant streaming."
Splunk's strategic adoption of Pulsar highlights the platform's ability to meet the demanding requirements of enterprise-grade, multi-tenant streaming workloads at scale.
StreamNative Launches Free Cloud Offering
StreamNative today unveiled a free cloud offering for Apache Pulsar, enabling developers to explore and run small-scale production Pulsar clusters without requiring a credit card or organizational approvals.
"When we launched StreamNative Cloud, we wanted to remove barriers to adoption for Pulsar. While it was a great fit for companies that were further along in their adoption journey, there was high demand from people who were just getting started. Namely, developers who wanted to try Pulsar without having to put down a credit card or get approvals. The free offering makes this possible," said Sijie Guo, CEO and Co-founder of StreamNative.
Guo is one of the original developers of Apache Pulsar and Apache BookKeeper, and an Apache PMC member for both projects.
"We can launch a resilient, secure, scalable event streaming service within minutes. It's straightforward and extremely easy to use," said Weisheng Xie, Chief Data Scientist at Bestpay.
