Redpanda
A less complex streaming data platform than Kafka
Redpanda is a modern streaming data platform for developers. It’s API compatible with Kafka and eliminates the operational complexity of running real-time applications on a scalable, high-performance data streaming engine. Redpanda is written in C++ and has a thread-per-core architecture so there’s no Zookeeper® or JVM to contend with.
Built-in schema registry and HTTP proxy
Built-in data and load rebalancing
Self-tuning to its hardware environment
No ZooKeeper or JVM to tune
Available on-premises or in the cloud

Kafka® API compatible
Leverage the entire Kafka® ecosystem, from Elasticsearch to TensorFlow.
No Data Loss
Rest easy knowing your data is safe, by default.
10x Faster
A new storage engine built for today’s hardware.
Engineered from the ground up for today’s hardware
Safe by default
Redpanda leverages the Raft consensus algorithm for managing the replicated log, giving you sound primitives for configuration and data-replication. No matter the scale, we keep your data safe.
No ZooKeeper®
We eliminated Zookeeper to streamline operations. Redpanda requires no code changes. Plug-and-play all your existing applications, connectors, and the entire ecosystem.
Built for performance
Redpanda is a new storage engine, optimized for streaming data, using a thread-per-core architecture focused on delivering stable tail-latencies. Using true async interfaces, Redpanda can saturate any device.
Do more with less
Redpanda takes advantage of every core, memory, disk and network byte. Designed from the ground up in C++ to extract the most value from your infrastructure.
Self tuning
Free yourself from the tuning whack-a-mole. Redpanda Keeper (RPK) automatically tunes your kernel to yield the optimal settings for your hardware+kernel+redpanda combination, every time.
Wasm-based data transforms
Transform data with our WebAssembly-based engine. Implement simple use cases like data scrubbing or enrichment without complex processing tools.
