Before Obligatory "What is so different about this from Kafka?"

Edit- Got wrong product.

from the looks of it, it just seems to be a slightly different take on Kafka. From what I gather, looks like Pulsar allows for scaling of producers/brokers independently?

That doesn't look to be Yahoo's Pulsar, but rather some analytics thing. Yahoo's documentation is on Github: https://github.com/yahoo/pulsar/blob/master/docs/GettingStar...

The documentation I've read suggests that it's very similar to Kafka (and I'll have you all know that I considered "Kafkaesque" there but I have some self-restraint).

edit: an acquaintance just suggested that maybe it's more related to Twitter's DistributedLog than Kafka: https://github.com/twitter/distributedlog

There is an another system from eBay named Pulsar [0] for Analytics. They should do some research before selecting a project name. Quick idea - Quesar ?

Quasar probably? Quesar is cheesy :)
