Summary

Kesque, a company that focuses on empowering developers to build cloud-native distributed applications, chose Apache Pulsar over Apache Kafka for its messaging infrastructure service. The reasons include Pulsar's ability to handle high-rate real-time use cases like Kafka and support standard message queuing patterns, its simplicity in managing topics without partitions, efficient log management through segmentation, stateless brokers that allow easy scaling, built-in geo-replication, consistent performance, and a fully open-source project under the Apache umbrella.
