This tutorial has guided you through the process of installing Pulsar Manager using three different methods: from source code, via Docker or using the Helm chart. Each approach offers flexibility depending on your environment and needs. While Pulsar Manager is a useful tool for managing Pulsar clusters, if you're looking for additional advanced features, you may want to explore Streamvisor as an alternative solution.
