What the publisher says

Redpanda Cloud is a managed, high-performance data streaming platform. Compliant with the Kafka APIs, your existing clients, libraries, and tools connect without code changes. You get performance and ecosystem compatibility, without running Kafka yourself.

Built to run with Google Cloud

If your stack lives on GCP, Redpanda is a natural fit. Stream events directly into BigQuery for real-time analytics pipelines. Bridge Pub/Sub bidirectionally to connect GCP-native messaging with your broader data infrastructure. Use Cloud Storage as a tiered storage backend and cut long-term data retention costs (Dedicated only). Enrich streaming pipelines with Vertex AI for LLM inference and Gemini embeddings. Capture change events from Cloud Spanner, Cloud SQL MySQL, and Cloud SQL PostgreSQL in real time.

Show the rest of the publisher’s description (27 more lines)

Redpanda Connect: Hundreds of connectors, built in

Every Redpanda Cloud subscription includes the ability to run managed Redpanda Connect pipelines: a lightweight data pipeline engine that handles ingest, transformation, and routing. Integrations include BigQuery, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, Vertex AI (chat and embeddings), Cloud Spanner CDC, Cloud SQL CDC for MySQL and PostgreSQL, Snowflake, and MongoDB. Beyond those, there are connectors for vector databases, SaaS platforms, and AI services. The Apache Iceberg connector writes directly to open Iceberg tables on Cloud Storage; BigQuery and other Iceberg-compatible tools can query them immediately. Configure any pipeline in YAML. No separate connector cluster to run.

Cost efficient

Redpanda is priced by consumption, not by cluster or partition count. The Serverless tier starts at $0.01 per Redpanda Consumption Unit (RCU) and lets you manually scale clusters down to zero, so you're not paying for headroom you don't need. Estimate your costs with the Redpanda Serverless pricing calculator. Most Kafka cost comparisons start and stop at the broker. Be sure to factor connectors, schema management, and storage into your assessment.

Kafka API compatible

Redpanda is a drop-in replacement for Apache Kafka. Existing producers, consumers, Schema Registry clients, and Kafka-compatible tools work out of the box.

Zero-downtime operations

Cluster balancing, upgrades, and patching all happen automatically. No maintenance windows to schedule.
