A single binary with built-in schema registry, http proxy, and message broker capabilities makes it easy to deploy and scale your clusters in self-managed environments.

Using Kafka? Migrate to Redpanda without application code changes. New to data streaming? You get to use the entire Kafka ecosystem out-of-the box.

The easiest, most complete web UI for visibility into your data streams with powerful features for time travel debugging and cluster administration.

Deploys in minutes, spins up in seconds, and runs efficiently wherever you develop – containers, laptops, x86 and ARM hardware, edge platforms, cloud instances, etc.

Ships with RPK, a single tool for managing your entire Redpanda cluster. It handles everything from low-level tuning to node configuration, and tasks like topic creation.

100% freedom from external dependencies makes for easier deployments in modern environments such as Kubernetes and edge computing. No more time sunk into tuning the JVM.

Runs easily in the deployment environment of your choice: in your cloud provider’s infrastructure, in your private cloud, on bare metal, or at the edge. Supports existing identity and access management infrastructure.

Ekes out every ounce of juice from your infrastructure to deliver throughput never before possible. Do more with your real-time data.

Up to 10x lower average latencies for the same workloads on identical hardware, even under sustained loads. Read this benchmark vs Apache Kafka for all the details.

Thanks to several architectural optimizations, including an optimistic approach to Raft and parallel commits that deliver up to 6x faster transactions.

No page cache, no locking, no garbage collection pauses, minimal context switching, and thread-local memory access ensure application latencies you can bet your business on.

Comes bundled with an auto-tuner, autonomously configuring your Linux machine for optimal performance, further boosting Redpanda's performance.

Written in C++ using a thread-per-core model to maximize utilization of hardware. Reduces hardware footprint by 3x or more and total costs by 6x.

Breakthrough shadow indexing architecture for efficiently managing large amounts of data. Use of cloud object stores for long term retention keeps cost to a minimum.

“CDN” for your streaming data! Cherry-pick topics from operational clusters and serve them from analytics clusters without duplicating data and without additional software.

Reduce network costs for multi-AZ deployments up to 50% with follower fetching, which enables consumers to fetch records from the closest physical replica of a topic partition.

Built-in data transforms to enrich data or apply routine business logic without ping-ponging across additional processing infrastructure. (coming soon)

Serves as a single-API "engine of record" for all your streaming applications and services — OLTP, RTA, OLAP and Edge.

Built on Raft and safe by default — no need to tweak settings. Get the data safety you need without incurring a performance penalty. See the official Jepsen Report.

Scales from your laptop to petabytes of data without impacting code. Scales horizontally or vertically — just add more nodes or allocate more cores as your workload grows.

Ongoing redistribution of data and leadership across nodes enables clusters to self-manage and self-heal, preventing performance hotspots without administrative burden.

Meet data security requirements without the headaches. Redpanda supports end-to-end encryption, Kerberos authentication, Kafka-compatible ACLs, cloud IAM roles, Console SSO, and more.

Cloud outages? No problem. Distribute your clusters across multiple availability zones (or racks) to increase system availability.

Built-in observability via Prometheus enables you to monitor the health and performance of your Redpanda clusters using your favorite DevOps and open source tooling. Redpanda-provided Grafana dashboards get you up and running fast.

Keep your Redpanda clusters in optimal health with built-in operational workflows (such as Maintenance Mode), cluster diagnostics, seamless rolling upgrades, and other cluster maintenance features.
