Faster data, from stream to screen.
Redpanda is a Kafka-compatible streaming data platform built for mission-critical workloads, delivering consistently low latency at scale in a compact single binary. Lightstreamer extends that backend infrastructure to the edge — its Kafka adapter connects directly to Redpanda, pushing high-frequency data to web and mobile clients at internet scale with intelligent delta delivery, conflation, and resilient connectivity handling.
From backbone to browser, in milliseconds.
Why use Redpanda and Lightstreamer?
Redpanda moves mission-critical data at consistently low latency — in a single binary, with no operational overhead. Lightstreamer takes it the rest of the way: its Kafka adapter connects directly to Redpanda and pushes live data to web and mobile clients at internet scale, handling the messy realities of real-world delivery — dropped connections, variable bandwidth, and corporate firewalls — so your users always see what's happening, right now.
Together, it's the complete real-time stack. Backend to browser, nothing in between.
Complete the last mile
Extend Redpanda topics to web, mobile, desktop, and connected applications without exposing your streaming infrastructure directly to the public internet.
Deliver only what each user needs
Use server-side filtering and fine-grained subscriptions to send each client only the relevant updates, reducing bandwidth, client workload, and unnecessary data movement.
Stay live on real-world networks
Keep users connected across mobile networks, corporate proxies, restrictive firewalls, packet loss, and temporary disconnections with adaptive streaming and automatic reconnection handling.
Lightstreamer Kafka API Connector
Connect Lightstreamer to Redpanda without changing your existing producers, topics, or streaming architecture, then deliver real-time data to millions of users with Intelligent Streaming. No Kafka Connect cluster required.
Use cases for Redpanda and Lightstreamer
Financial market data
Stream prices, market data, positions, order status, risk metrics, and alerts to trading platforms and investment applications in real time.
Live dashboards and telemetry
Deliver operational data, observability metrics, IoT telemetry, and infrastructure status to browser-based dashboards without polling or manual refresh.
Logistics and tracking
Push live shipment, vehicle, asset, and supply-chain updates to customer portals, control rooms, and mobile apps.
Real-time alerts and notifications
Send critical business events to users while they are active in the app, with optional push notification support when users are offline or the app is in the background.
Fraud detection and risk monitoring

Clickstream and user activity
Turn website, app, and customer activity streams into live views for product teams, support teams, personalization engines, and customer-facing experiences.
Fast data is wasted if it never arrives.
Redpanda gives you the single-digit-millisecond backbone. Lightstreamer carries it the last mile to any browser, app, or flaky network.
