Radically efficient data streaming ready for the agentic era

Redpanda’s engine is written in modern C++ for raw speed and efficiency. With a single self-contained binary, there are no external dependencies or JVM overhead. It automatically tunes itself and builds on the Seastar framework to squeeze out maximum performance from modern hardware.

Redpanda speaks the Kafka API natively. That means your existing Kafka clients, tools, and connectors just work — no code changes required. You keep the ecosystem you know, with faster performance and simpler operations.

Hot data stays on local SSDs for lightning-fast access, while older segments are automatically offloaded to object storage like S3, GCS, or Azure Blob. This gives you virtually unlimited retention, reduces storage costs, and provides the flexibility to hibernate topics or even recover entire clusters.

Run Redpanda however you need: Self-managed on your own infrastructure, serverless in the cloud, or in a BYOC model where Redpanda experts manage clusters inside your VPC — fully self-contained and with zero dependencies on external services.
