Still Have Questions?
Luna Streaming is both a completely free, production-ready distribution of Apache Pulsar, tools and optional subscription to enterprise-class support. It gives enterprises a partnership with DataStax to operate Apache Pulsar with support to launch, tune, and troubleshoot large scale event streaming deployments.
Pulsar is a cloud-native, distributed messaging and streaming platform that manages hundreds of billions of events per day. Evolved extensively since its inception to meet the needs of real-time event streaming use-cases, including data pipelines, microservices, and stream processing. Pulsar was originally developed at Yahoo! as the unified messaging platform connecting critical Yahoo applications such as Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Mail, and Flickr to data.
Common use cases are:
1) Microservices need to communicate events and share state between them.
2) Apps need to update and consume data in real-time.
3) Data scientists need to capture all events, process the data to build predictive models
4) Sensors & IOT devices need to stream raw sensor data from millions of devices scaling to millions of readings per second, and enrich that raw sensor data with contextual information.
No, the Luna Streaming distribution of Apache Pulsar is always free. Our engineers provide patches when needed and validate upgrade paths so there are no surprises when you upgrade to a newer version.
Pulsar is cloud-native, supports multi data center, active/active configurations and is much easier to scale.
Luna Streaming subscribers can develop and deploy applications with confidence. Subscribers can get help with general-purpose and technical questions for their open-source Pulsar deployments, and if an issue is encountered, DataStax is there to help. It can help meet your organization's compliance or governance guidelines for using open-source software.
Yes, you can use DataStax Luna Streaming.

Yes. Luna Streaming covers Apache Pulsar running with any deployment model (e.g. on-premises, cloud, hybrid etc.).
Event streaming is capturing and moving data from producers of data (microservices, consumer apps, IoT devices, etc.) to consumers of data (other microservices, databases, apps).
