2019-02-02 09:34:29 UTC - Vincent Ngan: One very popular use case for Kafka is to use it as a database replication transmission mechanism, like the Oracle Golden Gate Kafka Handler. Do people here think that this is also a good use case for Pulsar?

2019-02-02 17:16:53 UTC - Joe Francis: We  use Pulsar to replicate data across the globe for our proprietary db. Pulsar has much better support for replicating data across datacenters, and the best part .. it comes built-in, nothing else to setup
