Making Kafka Connectors Dance with Apache Pulsar

In this presentation, we introduce our cutting-edge framework designed to run Kafka connectors natively on Apache Pulsar without relying on the traditional Kafka Connect Herder deployment. Our solution leverages a serverless model and fully integrated with Kubernetes for scheduling, ensuring a fully cloud-native experience. This approach not only broadens the robust ecosystem of Pulsar to include Kafka streaming processes but also enables the seamless reuse of existing Kafka connectors within Pulsar.
We'll explore the architecture, technical challenges, and performance optimizations involved in building this integration. Expect practical demonstrations, real-world use cases, and an in-depth look at how our solution can revolutionize your stream processing pipelines. Whether you're a Kafka enthusiast looking to modernize or a Pulsar advocate seeking enhanced functionality, this session offers invaluable insights into orchestrating streamlined, scalable, and efficient streaming pipeline in a cloud-native environment.
