REDPANDA + AKAMAI

Enterprise data streaming, deployed where your applications live

Real-time AI and data applications don't wait, and neither should your infrastructure. Redpanda Streaming, now available through Akamai's Qualified Compute Partner Program, gives enterprises a high-performance, Kafka-compatible streaming platform deployed directly on Akamai's globally distributed cloud. Unified billing, object storage economics, and the operational simplicity your team has been asking for.

HOW IT WORKS

Redpanda Streaming on Akamai's global cloud

WHY IT MATTERS

Your infrastructure shouldn't be slower than your apps

Real-time applications are only as fast as the infrastructure beneath them. When that infrastructure is centralized, every edge deployment and new regional workload adds latency, complexity, and cost that compounds over time. Teams end up over-provisioning to compensate, or accept the performance penalties.
‍
Redpanda on Akamai closes that gap, with a global footprint that works closer to your users, data sources, and AI systems. That's infrastructure that keeps up, wherever the work actually happens.

Run closer to your data

Akamai operates 20+ global regions. Deploy Redpanda where latency matters most — at the edge, near your users, or alongside existing cloud workloads — without re-architecting your stack.

One cluster, every workload

Redpanda's R1 engine powers mission-critical apps and high-volume telemetry on the same cluster, with per-topic configurations. NVMe speed where you need performance. object storage economics where you need scale.

One vendor, one bill

Purchase Redpanda Streaming through Akamai's channel and consolidate your spend. Tiered Storage on Akamai Object Storage keeps long-term retention costs predictable — and off your engineering backlog.

USE CASES

Use cases for Redpanda on Akamai

“Confluent Cloud was one of our top third-party expenses. Redpanda came in at about 55% lower costs. It gave us the headroom to grow and opened the door to rethinking our whole pipeline.”

AI infrastructure observability

Running LLMs in production means monitoring them in production. Aggregate OpenTelemetry (OTEL) signals from your AI systems — model latency, token usage, error rates, drift — and route them wherever teams need to act fast.

Financial services

Low-latency streaming for fraud detection, trading systems, and risk analytics — on infrastructure that meets enterprise security and compliance requirements out of the box.

Clickstream & compliance

For teams serving global web traffic, Redpanda provides a durable record you can always go back to. Capture and retain streams with full replayability, so you can reconstruct user journeys for compliance audits, re-process events for analytics, and more.

Multi-region disaster recovery

Keep revenue streaming, even when regions fail. Redpanda Shadowing on Akamai's global network gives you enterprise-grade DR that comes built into your clusters. Fast RPO and RTO. Reconnect apps without data gaps or inconsistencies.

AI training pipelines

Better models start with better feedback. Redpanda gives you a high-throughput backbone for capturing reinforced learning from human feedback (RLHF) signals like behavioral data and preference labels. Less lag between what your model does and how it learns.

IoT & sensor data

Process telemetry from millions of devices at the edge, before it overwhelms core systems. Akamai's distributed footprint means less round-trip latency. MQTT is built into Redpanda Connect, so your device fleet can talk directly to Redpanda Streaming, without custom middleware.
