About
Redpanda is a Kafka-compatible streaming data platform built for the agentic AI era. Its core engine is written in C++ and requires no ZooKeeper or JVM, delivering up to 10x lower latency and 6x lower costs than Apache Kafka. Redpanda serves as an Agentic Data Plane — a governed access layer that unifies streaming data, historical records, and SQL analytics so AI agents can ingest, loop, process, and store data continuously at scale. With 300+ connectors, built-in identity and authorization controls, and a unified SQL query layer spanning live streams and historical data, Redpanda enables enterprises to put agents safely into production. Customers include Activision, Cisco, LiveRamp, NYSE, and Midjourney.
