Unifying Messaging, Queuing, Streaming and Light Weight Compute for Online Event Processing

Online event processing are abound ranging from web and mobile applications to data processing. Such event processing applications often require the ability to ingest, store, dispatch and process events. Until now, supporting all of these needs has required different systems for each task -- stream processing engines, messaging queuing middleware, and pub/sub messaging systems. This has led to the unnecessary complexity for the development of such applications and operations leading to increased barrier to adoption in the enterprises. In this keynote, Karthik will outline the need to unify these capabilities in a single system and make it easy to develop and operate at scale. Karthik will delve into how Apache Pulsar was designed to address this need with an elegant architecture. Apache Pulsar is a next generation distributed pub-sub system that was originally developed and deployed at Yahoo and running in production in more than 100+ companies. Karthik will explain how the architecture and design of Pulsar provides the flexibility to support developers and applications needing any combination of queuing, messaging, streaming and lightweight compute for events. Furthermore, he will provide real life use cases how Apache Pulsar is used for event processing ranging from data processing tasks to web processing applications.
