# pulsar Runbook  
[Back to Operator Map](../OPERATOR_MAP.md)

- Ports: Broker 18650, Admin HTTP 18880 (see ports.yaml)
- Start/Stop: Supervisor `pulsar` (standalone `-nss`)
- Logs: `.../logs/pulsar`

Resource Notes
- Pulsar standalone is CPU/RAM heavy. Expect spikes during startup and topic creation.
- For constrained hosts, stop Pulsar when not in use or reduce load by disabling functions/streaming features.

Persistence
- Binaries: `.../binaries/pulsar`
- Data/Bookie/ZooKeeper are managed internally by standalone mode; for production, use a proper cluster.
