Redpanda is purpose-built to run efficiently on multi-core hardware, ensuring high throughput on today's systems. It outperforms legacy Kafka by being 6x more cost-effective for the same workload, while reducing your carbon footprint.
1/3rd the compute footprint
Shrinks your compute footprint to 1/3rd or less while delivering better performance when compared to other Apache Kafka based solutions.
More efficient data retention
Leverages a tiered cloud object storage architecture to retain data more economically, while increasing the availability of historical data.
6x lower total costs
Proven to reduce total cost of ownership by up to 6x by shrinking the compute, storage and maintenance costs of running clusters.

Redpanda combines innovations like thread-per-core design and a single binary architecture with a cloud-first storage to significantly reduce total costs.
Thread-per-core execution
Utilizes a thread-per-core architecture and C++ framework to ekes out the maximum performance from today’s hardware, resulting in higher throughput and lower latencies using 1/3rd the nodes or fewer compared to other Kafka services.
Cloud-first storage
Intelligent tiered storage engine offloads real time data from log segments to cloud object storage in your infrastructure (S3, GCS, Azure Blob or other S3-compatible storage), delivering up to 8-9x savings in long term data retention costs.
Single binary architecture
Built using a zero-dependency architecture — ZooKeeper™ and KRaft free, JVM free, nothing else to manage but Redpanda nodes — to significantly reduce administrative overhead and engineering time spent tuning clusters.
Self-managing clusters
Automated management of data on disk to rebalance the cluster eliminates hotspots, and self heals without manual intervention, significantly reducing Day 2 operations at scale and resulting in fast startup times for CI/CD pipelines.
Redpanda is available as a range of fully-managed services via Redpanda Cloud. It is also available for self hosting as a commercially supported Enterprise Edition and a free (BSL) Community Edition.
