The best present and future of streaming data
What is Redpanda?
Redpanda is the most complete, Apache Kafka®-compatible streaming data platform, designed from the ground up to be lighter, faster, and simpler to operate. Free from ZooKeeper™ and JVMs, it prioritizes an end-to-end developer experience with a huge ecosystem of connectors, configurable tiered storage, and more.
Platform components
The Redpanda platform is your easy button for streaming data. It comes built in with a human-friendly CLI, a rich UI that simplifies working with real-time data, and 300+ pre-built connectors. 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 are self-sufficient with everything you need built in. Say goodbye to external dependencies (like JVM or KRaft) and hello to rapid boot times, simpler CI/CD integration, and reliable production environments.
Redpanda Connect
Redpanda Connect puts 300+ connectors at your fingertips, helping you integrate data from disparate sources in the blink of an eye. It is a declarative integration framework that's a simplified and powerful alternative to heavy-duty systems.
Redpanda Console
Redpanda Console is a developer-friendly UI that complements rpk, our CLI, for managing your Kafka-compatible clusters. It also gives you enhanced data observability and secure access control.
What makes Redpanda different?
Engineered for multi-core
Redpanda was engineered from scratch and written in C++ to extract the best performance out of every core, disk, memory chip, and network byte. It uses a patent-pending thread-per-core architecture to ensure the highest throughput, with up to 10x lower latencies, no matter where it’s deployed: global multi-region cloud clusters, on-prem bare metal hardware, private cloud containers, or at the edge!

Single binary
Redpanda nodes deploy as self-sufficient processes with built-in schema registry, http proxy, Kafka API-compatible message, and Raft-based data management, and control. They are free from external dependencies like JVM, ZooKeeper™, or KRaft servers. A smaller compute footprint and fewer components means instantaneous boot times, simpler CI/CD integration, and more reliable production environments.
LEARN MORE
Native Raft
Redpanda leverages the Raft consensus protocol for its data management and control functions to improve performance, data safety, and cluster reliability, no matter the size and shape of your workloads. Since the nodes natively speak Raft, there aren’t additional quorum servers to manage!
LEARN MORE
Cloud-first storage
Redpanda clusters use cloud object storage (Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage) as the default storage tier. This enables Redpanda to deliver new capabilities such as Remote Read Replicas, and Intelligent Tiered Storage, that let you manage and distribute petabytes without breaking your bank on extra storage costs, and with minimal administrative overhead.

Data sovereignty
Want the data controls of self-hosted clusters but the ease of Cloud? Redpanda Cloud's Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) approach gives you fully managed clusters that run within your VPC! Redpanda manages resource provisioning, monitoring, and upgrades, without your data and credentials ever leaving your environment!

Redpanda Connect
Go from humdrum data pipelines to composable data products. Redpanda Connect prioritizes reliability and a convenient git-ops experience, allowing you to easily adapt data workflows as requirements change. Choose from 300+ open-source connectors, all packaged as a single Go binary that's 128 MiB. Or build your own, with multiple plug-in strategies including your favorite Wasm-supported languages.

Inline data transforms
Reduce "data ping pong" and create more efficient pipelines by pushing transformation logic into the streaming engine itself. Redpanda Data Transforms is a stateless inline data processing framework that's built on WebAssembly (Wasm), allowing developers to write arbitrary code to process individual messages in-flight as they pass through the broker.
