Summary
Not all streaming data services can handle mission-critical workloads. Amazon MSK is one of many services built on Kafka (a legacy infrastructure), making its performance unreliable and expensive for high throughput workloads. Redpanda Cloud is built on a powerful streaming data engine that uses Kafka APIs—but without the cost or complexity—and supports mission-critical, high-performance data streams with up to 10x lower latency and 6x lower total cost of ownership (TCO) versus Kafka.
Redpanda Cloud vs Amazon MSK
AWS offers a marketplace of options to support your real-time data streams. Two popular choices for fully managed data streaming are Redpanda Cloud and Amazon MSK. When evaluating these services, it’s critical to think about your needs for administration, performance, and reliability.
Best-in-class experiences from startups to the enterprise
"We had a large Kafka environment (800M events per day). I dropped Redpanda in and changed nothing and that's when I was completely sold."
"Redpanda was able to handle the same load on far less resources than Kafka required. It was 5 to 6 times more efficient, greatly reducing our hardware costs as well as support and licensing costs."
"Redpanda helped us grow from the hundreds of millions of dollars in trading per day to billions of dollars."
"We have operational agility with Redpanda, meeting stringent SLOs while keeping developers focused on high-value work. Redpanda's tiered storage saves up to 30% on storage costs, easily handling 14.5GB/second."
"Redpanda rose to the top of our list because we knew its obsessed over performance and reliability at scale. We tested the data platform for up to 100M users with zero performance blips at 100GB/min throughput and peaks of 100K transactions/second."
