TAKE A DEEP DIVE


THE BEST PRESENT AND FUTURE OF STREAMING DATA


BUILT FROM SCRATCH


WHAT IS THE REDPANDA PLATFORM?

Redpanda is an Apache Kafka®-compatible streaming data platform designed from
the ground up to be lighter, faster, and simpler to operate. Its high-performing
nature squeezes the most out of your hardware to give you 10x lower latencies
and reduces your total costs by 6x—without sacrificing your data’s reliability
or durability.


SIMPLICITY AND PERFORMANCE AT ITS CORE


PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE

Redpanda employs a single binary architecture, free from ZooKeeper™ and JVMs,
with a built-in Schema Registry and HTTP Proxy.


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).

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 the lowest possible latency, 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 or Google Cloud 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!

Learn more



SELF HEALING

Redpanda continually redistributes data and leadership across your nodes to
maintain your cluster in an optimal state as your cluster evolves or when nodes
fail. This anti-entropy mechanism automatically eliminates hotspots that have
the potential to impact cluster performance and significantly reduces your
administrative headaches.

“WHEN SELECTING A STREAMING DATA PLATFORM, THE CHOICE FOR JUMP WAS OBVIOUS. “FOR
STARTERS, WE NEEDED ASSURANCE WE’D HAVE ZERO DATA LOSS. WE ALSO NEEDED SOMETHING
THAT WOULD MEET OUR HIGH THROUGHPUT REQUIREMENTS. THAT PUT REDPANDA IN A CLASS
OF ITS OWN.”

- ALEX DAVIES

CTO, Jump Trading




REDPANDA IS WHAT I WISHED I HAD TEN YEARS AGO. SIMPLE, FAST, RELIABLE AND
COMPATIBLE.

- SANDY WILBOURN

VP Carrier Division, Akamai Technologies




REDPANDA WAS ABLE TO HANDLE THE SAME LOAD ON FAR LESS RESOURCES THAN KAFKA
REQUIRED. IT WAS 5 TO 6 TIMES MORE EFFICIENT, GREATLY REDUCING OUR HARDWARE
COSTS AS WELL AS SUPPORT AND LICENSING COSTS.

- MICHAEL PEARCE

Sr. Architect, StoneX




WE CHOSE REDPANDA CLOUD FOR THREE IMPORTANT REASONS: IT GIVES US THE BEST KAFKA
API PERFORMANCE BY FAR, HAS ALL THE FEATURES WE NEED AND IT KEEPS OUR COSTS IN
CHECK.

- JORDI MIRÓ BRUIX

CTO, The Hotels Network




REDPANDA HELPED US GROW FROM THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TRADING PER
DAY TO BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

- RAJA BHATIA

VP Engineering, Alpaca




REDPANDA BYOC GIVES US A FULLY MANAGED KAFKA SERVICE RUNNING ON OUR OWN CLOUD
SERVERS, BALANCING OUR INTERNAL COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS WITH EASE OF USE, AND
WITHOUT COMPROMISING PERFORMANCE AND COMPATIBILITY.
