BUILT FROM SCRATCH

Redpanda is a source available (BSL), Apache Kafka®-compatible, streaming data platform designed from the ground up to be lighter, faster, and simpler to operate. It employs a single binary architecture, free from ZooKeeper™ and JVMs, with a built-in Schema Registry and HTTP Proxy.

SIMPLICITY AND PERFORMANCE AT ITS CORE

The Redpanda platform is your easy button from streaming data! It comes built in with a human friendly CLI, and a rich UI that simplifies working real-time data. Its powerful nature gives you up to 10x lower latencies and reduces your total costs by 6x—without sacrificing data safety!

Redpanda node

Redpanda nodes deploy as self-sufficient processes with built-in schema registry, http proxy, Kafka API-compatible message, and Raft-based data management. They are engineered for performance, and free from external dependencies like JVM, ZooKeeper™, or KRaft. A smaller footprint and single binary nodes means rapid boot times, simpler CI/CD integration, and more reliable production environments.

Redpanda Keeper (rpk)

Redpanda Keeper (rpk) is a single binary application that provides a way to interact with your Redpanda clusters using the command line interface (CLI). You can install the rpk binary as a standalone tool for self-hosted, cloud, and k8s environments, and use it for everything from tuning to node configuration and topic creation.

Redpanda Console

Redpanda Console is a developer-friendly UI for managing your Redpanda or third party Kafka-compatible clusters. Redpanda Console gives you comprehensive Kafka administration (including visual partition management), data observability (including time travel debugging), secure access controls (including SSO, RBAC, and Kerberos support).
