What's under the hood?

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-binary architecture

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.

Cloud-first storage

The cloud is the default storage tier for Redpanda clusters. Administrators can apply standard Kafka data retention properties to customize the behavior. Behind the scenes, Redpanda intelligently manages the reads and writes to maintain low-latency performance, giving you infinite data storage without breaking the bank.

Privacy preserving

Bring your own cloud (BYOC) architecture lets you deploy Redpanda clusters in your own virtual private cloud, while Redpanda handles provisioning, monitoring, and upgrades! Your data and credentials never leave your environment, giving you data sovereignty without the typical operational overhead!

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.

It just works

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!
