Our take
When dealing with real-time data streaming workloads, the simpler the infrastructure the better. RedPanda was developed as an alternative to the complex industry standard, Apache Kafka (which needed to be used in tandem with ZooKeeper). RedPanda’s Kafka-compatible platform increases businesses’ operational efficiency by allowing them to switch to a single platform.
Formerly known as Vectorized, the company launched the RedPanda in 2021, eventually renaming the company after the product. Its platform is already running on hundreds of thousands of machines, reliably enabling enterprises to continue to run the software that they’ve already invested in while addressing and eliminating past pain points with the status quo of data streaming infrastructures.
With funding under its belt, the company is expanding its marketing, research, and development, increasing its speed, reducing latencies, and adding features such as its RedPanda Cloud service. It is also focusing on limitless data retention, capturing the attention of developers, and resulting in the company’s substantial growth.
