3 Interacting with Pulsar

This chapter covers

Running a local instance of Pulsar on your development machine
Administering a Pulsar cluster using its command-line tools
Interacting with Pulsar using the Java, Python, and Go client libraries
Troubleshooting Pulsar with its command-line tools

Now that we have covered the overall architecture and terminology of Apache Pulsar, let’s start using it. For local development and testing, I recommend running Pulsar inside a Docker container on your own machine, which provides an easy way to get started with Pulsar with a minimal amount of time, effort, and money. For those of you who would prefer to use a full-size Pulsar cluster, you can refer to appendix A for more details on how to install ...
