User Survey 2020 Report Shows Rapid Growth In Apache Pulsar Adoption

For the first time ever, the Apache Pulsar PMC team is
publishing a user survey report. The 2020
Apache Pulsar User Survey Report reveals Pulsar’s accelerating
rate of global adoption, details how organizations are leveraging
Pulsar to build real-time streaming applications, and highlights
key features on Pulsar’s product roadmap.

Apache Pulsar is a cloud-native, distributed open source
publish-subscribe (pub/sub) based high-performance server-to-server
messaging and streaming system that manages hundreds of billions of
events per day. It provides very low end-to-end latency, guaranteed
message delivery, zero data loss, and a serverless lightweight
computing framework for stream native data processing.

Pulsar adoption has largely been driven by the market’s
increased demand for real-time, data-enabled technologies. While
companies have tried to leverage monolithic messaging systems to
build-out real-time offerings, they’ve hit major roadblocks.

Ultimately, these technologies are not equipped to provide the
scale or reliability that mission-critical applications
require.

As a result, companies have sought-out Apache Pulsar^[2] for its cloud-native,
distributed messaging, and streaming platform capabilities. From
asynchronous applications to core business applications to ETL,
companies are increasingly leveraging Pulsar to develop real-time
applications.

Pulsar has received global adoption from major technology
companies such as Verizon Media, Narvar, Overstock, Nutanix, Yahoo!
JAPAN, Tencent, OVHCloud, and Clever Cloud, who rely on its ability
to deliver on performance, scalability, and resiliency.

As the Pulsar project and community garner increasing attention,
we’re excited to share the 2020 Apache Pulsar User Survey
Report.

In the 2020 Apache Pulsar User Survey Report, we hear from 165
users and learn how their companies are leveraging Pulsar’s
cloud-native, multi-layer design architecture, built-in
multi-tenancy, and multi-cluster replication, to build scalable
real-time offerings.

This report details insights and use cases on how organizations are
deploying Pulsar today.

The report also reveals Pulsar’s top-used features, its most
popular applications, and how it is delivering scalable, reliable,
real-time streaming solutions for organizations. In this quotation
from Qiang Fei, Tech Lead for Tencent, we see how one
organization is leveraging Pulsar^[3]
to improve their offering:

From its built-in multi-tenancy, which reduces architectural
complexity and enables organizations to scale, to its
multi-datacenter replication, which allows Pulsar to handle
datacenter failures, we see how Pulsar has evolved into a robust
and differentiated messaging and streaming platform. The report
also reveals some of the community-driven features on Pulsar’s
product roadmap for 2020 and beyond. To find out more, download
the report^[4] today.

Join us for the first-ever Apache Pulsar Summit on August 26,
2020, in San Francisco, CA. More details on the Summit to come!
