Redpanda
Redpanda is a streaming platform for mission critical workloads. Kafka® compatible,
No Zookeeper®, no JVM, and no code changes required. Use all your favorite open source tooling - 10x faster.
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.

Getting Started
Prebuilt Packages
We recommend using our free & prebuilt stable releases below.
On MacOS
Simply download our rpk binary here. We require Docker on MacOS
brew install redpanda-data/tap/redpanda && rpk container start
On Debian/Ubuntu
curl -1sLf \
'https://packages.vectorized.io/nzc4ZYQK3WRGd9sy/redpanda/cfg/setup/bash.deb.sh' \
| sudo -E bash
sudo apt-get install redpanda
On Fedora/RedHat/Amazon Linux
curl -1sLf \
'https://packages.vectorized.io/nzc4ZYQK3WRGd9sy/redpanda/cfg/setup/bash.rpm.sh' \
| sudo -E bash
sudo yum install redpanda
GitHub Actions
- name: start redpanda
uses: redpanda-data/github-action@v0.1.3
with:
version: "latest"
Now you should be able to connect to redpanda (kafka-api) running at localhost:9092
Build Manually
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!
For hackers, here is the short and sweet:
sudo ./install-dependencies.sh && CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./build.sh
For quicker dev setup, we provide a docker image with the toolchain installed.
Beta builds
For those of us who like to live on the edge!
We can cut a release at any point from the /dev branch if you want to test a particular feature.
Simply let us know you would like to test a feature from dev and we're happy to cut a beta release.
