Redpanda is a Kafka® compatible streaming data platform that is ZooKeeper®-free, JVM-free, Jepsen tested and source available. Use all your favorite Kafka tooling without any code changes.
Make quick work of streaming data
A single binary with built-in everything. No ZooKeeper®. No JVM. Deploys in minutes. Spins up in seconds. Plays nice with Kubernetes and microservices. Works natively with your Kafka tools. Love streaming again!
Craft the snappiest user experiences
Built by performance-obsessed engineers to deliver up to 10x lower average latencies and up to 6x faster Kafka transactions... all while running on fewer resources! Power use cases never before possible while reducing your hardware footprint (and doing your bit to save the planet).
Go mission-critical without worry
Jepsen verified to keep your data safe and secure, our Raft-based storage engine keeps your data replicated — without a performance hit. Scales to gigabytes-per-second throughput and petabytes of storage. Keeps latencies predictable, no matter the load. Ready to drive some serious business growth.
Build a limitless datastore
Transparent tiered storage lets you record both historical and real-time data without breaking the bank. On-board data transforms enrich ingested events without additional infrastructure. A common Kafka API for accessing everything. An engine of record for all your apps. What will you build with it?

Designed in C++
Redpanda ekes the best performance out of every core, disk, memory chip and network byte. With a native thread-per-core architecture, it scales up to saturate any deployment platform, be it an edge computing system, multi-core cloud instances, or bare metal hardware!
A single fault domain
Redpanda is architected without dependencies. Each node is a single process that is self-sufficient and operates standalone. This reduces the failure points in your streaming stack and ends the game of distributed systems whack-a-mole.
Raft ftw
Redpanda uses an optimistic approach to the Raft consensus protocol for managing its replicated log, giving you sound primitives for configuration and data-replication. No matter the scale, we keep your data safe, without sacrificing performance.
Self-managing and self-healing
Native anti-entropy mechanisms maintain your cluster in its optimal state through data imbalances and node failures. Redpanda intelligently redistributes data partitions and leadership so your admins don't have to.
Kafka compatible
Redpanda natively supports the Kafka API so it works out-of-the-box with your existing tools and integrations. If it talks Kafka, Redpanda can connect with it!
Redpanda v22.2 is here!
