Pulsar supports the kafka protocol, so anything that works with Kafka should just work with Pulsar. https://docs.streamnative.io/cloud/build/kafka-clients/kafka...

This and Materialize seemed like great tools. I met some of the team of Rising Wave at the Kafka conference last year in London and was impressed by their work. It may be great if …

Bluetooth and carplay do indeed work as you need to be connected to the vehicle. I used those features too. The ConnectedDrive feature discussed here is when you install the BMW ap…

I’m concerned that a lot of commenters don’t appreciate the difference between a queue and a log. Kafka is not a queue. I think like most have said is that it’s just not a popular …
