:::

Pulsar Functions are lightweight compute processes that

consume messages from one or more Pulsar topics
apply a user-supplied processing logic to each message
publish the results of the computation to another topic

Functions can be managed via the following methods.

Method	Description
Admin CLI	The `functions` command of the `pulsar-admin` tool.
REST API	The `/admin/v3/functions` endpoint of the admin {@inject: rest:REST:/} API.
Java Admin API	The `functions` method of the `PulsarAdmin` object in the Java API.

Function resources

You can perform the following operations on functions.

Create a function

You can create a Pulsar function in cluster mode (deploy it on a Pulsar cluster) using Admin CLI, REST API or Java Admin API.

  defaultValue="Admin CLI"
  values={[{"label":"Admin CLI","value":"Admin CLI"},{"label":"REST API","value":"REST API"},{"label":"Java Admin API","value":"Java Admin API"}]}>

Use the [`create`](/reference/#/@pulsar:version_reference@/pulsar-admin/functions?id=create) subcommand.

**Example**

```shell
pulsar-admin functions create \
    --tenant public \
    --namespace default \
    --name (the name of Pulsar Functions) \
    --inputs test-input-topic \
    --output persistent://public/default/test-output-topic \
