 # Apache Pulsar Java 
 Apache Pulsar user-defined source and sink implemented using Java. 
 
-## Getting Started
-#### Run Pulsar and Pulsar Manager UI:
-``` docker-compose up```
+**Note for Production:** For StreamNative Cloud or secured clusters, see [Pulsar on StreamNative](docs/get-started/pulsar-on-streamnative.md)
 
-- locally, go to http://localhost:9527/#/login?redirect=%2F
+## Getting Started: Local Development Setup
 
-#### Numaflow:
-*     mvn clean install
-*     kubectl apply -f pipeline.yaml
-*     kubectl apply -f pulsar-config-map.yaml 
-*     kubectl -n numaflow-system port-forward deployment/numaflow-server 8443:8443
+#### Run local Pulsar cluster and Pulsar Manager UI:
+This starts a local Pulsar broker and the Pulsar Manager web interface for monitoring.
 
-This builds the UDsink image, and the pipeline file uses it. Go to https://localhost:8443/ to use Numaflow UI
+```bash
+docker-compose up
+```
 
-#### Pulsar Manager set up account:
-````
+#### Set Pulsar Manager account by running this in your terminal:
+```
   CSRF_TOKEN=$(curl http://localhost:7750/pulsar-manager/csrf-token)
 curl \
 -H "X-XSRF-TOKEN: $CSRF_TOKEN" \

-````
+```
+
+#### Access Pulsar Manager UI:
+
+Go to http://localhost:9527/#/login?redirect=%2F and login with the name and password fields specified in the command above.
 
 In Pulsar Manager, once logged in, create an environment with the service URL http://pulsar:8080/ and Bookie url http://pulsar:8080/.<img width="809" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/293665d3-4528-4325-bbf7-0cbd7bc04928" />
+
+#### Deploy to Numaflow:
+Note: navigate to the ```docs``` folder, and go to either the sink/source subfolder (```docs/source/byte-array/``` or ```docs/sink/byte-array/```) for example producer and consumer pipeline and configmap configurations. For local Pulsar cluster, you can omit the ```authPluginClassName``` and ```authParams``` fields for the config map implementation.
+
+```bash
+# Build the project and create the Docker image
+mvn clean install
+
+# Deploy the pipeline and configuration to Kubernetes
+kubectl apply -f <path-to-pipeline.yaml>
+kubectl apply -f <path-to-config-map.yaml>
+
+# Port-forward to access Numaflow UI
+kubectl -n numaflow-system port-forward deployment/numaflow-server 8443:8443
+```
+
+Then access the Numaflow UI at https://localhost:8443/
