Key Pulsar Concepts: Messaging vs
Streaming
Message Queueing - Queueing
systems are ideal for work queues
that do not require tasks to be
performed in a particular order.
Streaming - Streaming works
best in situations where the
order of messages is important.

● Consume messages from one
or more Pulsar topics.
● Apply user-supplied
processing logic to each
message.
● Publish the results of the
computation to another topic.
● Support multiple
programming languages
(Java, Python, Go)
● Can leverage 3rd-party
libraries

Function Mesh
Pulsar Functions, along with Pulsar IO/Connectors, provide a powerful API for ingesting,
transforming, and outputting data.
Function Mesh, another StreamNative project, makes it easier for developers to create entire
applications built from sources, functions, and sinks all through a declarative API.
