Apache Pulsar multi-cluster disaster recovery and progressive traffic migration

Chinese Session 2026-08-09 15:45 GMT+8 (ROOM : JingYi Hall) #messagingMulti-cluster Pulsar operations face two core challenges: rapid disaster recovery failover in the event of a primary cluster failure, and smooth traffic migration during cluster relocation. This presentation introduces the design and implementation of a proxy, which unifies disaster recovery and scheduling through three key technologies—directed connection closure, native weighted routing, and a progressive migration engine—to achieve arbitrary-precision traffic allocation and zero-explosion-radius failover.
