Redpanda for Software & Technology

Redpanda provides the infrastructure software and technology companies need to build and ship enterprise-grade agentic AI/ML systems — from connectivity, context and governance to real-time data streaming pipelines that you can launch in minutes. From prototype to production, Redpanda handles the data foundation so your teams can focus on building.

What our customers say

“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.”

“We use Redpanda, and the volume we’re processing is about 1T events per day. With this volume of data, we're able to sort of train very specific models that take metadata, do fusion, and thus, cross distillation from classical ML models. This allows us to keep the boundaries in which the models or agents operate and be able to learn not just what to detect, but how an analyst would typically respond.”

“Working with Redpanda allowed us to start with event streaming without thinking about it, and with a fully managed service, our team can focus on innovation rather than maintenance.”

“Redpanda allows us to build features that simply wouldn’t have been possible with our previous architecture. It gives us the freedom to scale and innovate without limitations.”

Why Redpanda Data Platform?

Stream, connect, and query. One platform.

The streaming, connectivity, and SQL infrastructure that agents run on.

Stream

Up to 1 GB/sec write throughput per node, built in C++. The event stream agents reason from, delivered in real time.

Connect

CDC from Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, and others. Iceberg output, Snowflake Streaming, Salesforce, Google Drive, and 300+ more. No custom pipelines.

SQL

Ad-hoc SQL queries against live topics and Iceberg history. No union logic. No pipeline lag. No stale snapshots.

Agent workloads that can't afford stale data.

Agent analysts

Agents thrive on structured data, fanning out across hundreds of parallel SQL queries to explore a hypothesis. Queries hit live data. Answers match reality.

RAG pipelines

Accurate RAG requires fresh context. Redpanda feeds retrieval pipelines from live event streams, not a warehouse that's already ten minutes behind.

Private inferencing

Regulated data that can't leave your environment can still be queried by agents inside your VPC. No egress, no exposure, no compromise.

AI observability

Every LLM execution is traceable to its source data in the event log. Audit trails are built in, not bolted on.

Why Redpanda Agentic Data Plane?

Redpanda closes the gap between agents and data.

A governed access layer that connects data systems and mediates every agentic interaction.

Trust

Apply on-behalf-of (OBO) authorization and OIDC identity to every agent. Every data access is mediated, attributed, and controlled.

Context

Connect agents to 300+ data sources via MCP servers and connectors. Agents get what they need. Nothing more.

Explainability

Every agent action is recorded in the durable event log. Replay, audit, or challenge any decision. The record is immutable.

Control

Set guardrails, enforce token limits, and trigger kill switches before an agent goes rogue. Governance that doesn't slow agents down.

Use cases for Technology

Connect data from any source and handle any real-time streaming workload.

Real-time bidding

‍Redpanda processes billions of bid request events per day at millisecond latency. Agents pull live audience signals, campaign pacing, and contextual data to influence bid decisions — with every action logged and replayable for brand safety and fraud investigation.

Campaign optimization

Agents continuously monitor ad server events, attribution data, and CRM signals. When a campaign drifts from KPIs, agents detect the anomaly and execute budget reallocation automatically — no overnight reports, no manual triage.

Threat detection and response

Redpanda ingests logs, network flows, and endpoint telemetry at scale, routing signals to your detection stack in real time. Agents correlate data across streams, query threat intel via MCP, classify incidents, and trigger response playbooks — with a full audit trail of every action.

Predictive maintenance

Redpanda captures and routes machine telemetry in sequence across thousands of sensors. Agents detect anomalies, search equipment manuals, check parts inventory, and open maintenance tickets automatically. With BYOC, operational data stays in your environment.

Fraud detection and compliance

Redpanda processes payment events at the latency real-time decisioning requires. Agents operate on transaction streams under declarative access policies, with immutable transcripts that help satisfy PCI-DSS and other audit requirements.

Live player personalization

Redpanda handles the event backbone for leaderboards, matchmaking, and live ops at scale. Agents monitor player behavior streams in real time, detect churn signals, and trigger personalized offers to increase player engagement.

Governing Agents in the Enterprise

A trillion events per day. 96 petabytes of data. The scale of enterprise AI is staggering—and governance hasn't caught up. Experts from Arctic Wolf, ShareChat, and LiveRamp debate what it actually takes to deploy AI agents responsibly in production.
