Case Study: Zhaopin simplifies its event center and unifies messaging with StreamNative's Apache Pulsar

Simplifying Zhaopin’s Event Center with Apache Pulsar

Zhaopin, a large online recruiting and career platform in China with more than 100 million users, needed to simplify the event center that powered mission-critical messaging for services like resume submission and job search. Its previous setup used both RabbitMQ and Apache Kafka, creating high hardware and administrative costs, duplicated storage, consistency issues, and operational complexity, while also struggling with scalability, durability, and message replay.

StreamNative helped Zhaopin adopt Apache Pulsar as the foundation of its event center, unifying work queues and pub-sub messaging in a single system. With StreamNative’s help, Zhaopin gained strong durability, flexible replication, topic-level scalability, cumulative and individual acknowledgements, and retention/rewind capabilities, eliminating the need for dual messaging systems and reducing complexity while supporting more than 1 billion messages per day under normal conditions and multiple billions during peak season.
