Redpanda

Faster data. Fewer nodes. More time for coffee. Redpanda is a Kafka®-compatible streaming data platform that is proven to be 10x faster and 6x more cost-efficient. It is also JVM-free, ZooKeeper®-free, Jepsen-tested and source available. We are building a real-time streaming engine for modern applications - from the enterprise to the solo dev prototyping a react application on her laptop. We go beyond the Kafka protocol, into the future of streaming with inline WASM transforms and geo-replicated hierarchical storage. A new platform that scales with you from the smallest projects to petabytes of data distributed across the globe. We provide a very simple build system that uses your system libraries. We recommend users leverage our pre-built stable releases which are vetted, tested, and reproducible with exact versions of the entire transitive dependency graph, including exact compilers all built from source. The only thing we do not build yet is the Linux Kernel, but soon!
