Apache Pulsar Helps Streamline Message System and Reduces O&M Costs at Tuya Smart

Tuya Smart had outgrown its existing message system which was based on Kafka. Rapidly increasing numbers of users, topics, and messages had led to mounting costs associated with storage, processing, labor, and time.

To improve system performance, Tuya required a more flexible message delivery system that could meet their need for persistence. They also needed a solution that would make it easy to classify messages by user.

After evaluating several different options, Tuya settled on Apache Pulsar because it proved to be the most adept at handling the accumulation of messages and repeated consumption. The addition of Pulsar has made Tuya’s message system much more efficient, resulting in lower operational and maintenance costs.
