Redpanda is a streaming data platform for developers. Kafka® API-compatible. ZooKeeper® free. JVM free. We built it from the ground up to eliminate complexity common to Apache Kafka, improve performance by up to 10x, and make the storage architecture safer, and more resilient. The simpler devex lets you focus on your code (instead of fighting Kafka) and develop new use cases that were never before possible. The business benefits from a significantly lower total cost and faster time to market. 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://dl.redpanda.com/nzc4ZYQK3WRGd9sy/redpanda/cfg/setup/bash.deb.sh' \
  | sudo -E bash

sudo apt-get install redpanda

On Fedora/RedHat/Amazon Linux

curl -1sLf \
  'https://dl.redpanda.com/nzc4ZYQK3WRGd9sy/redpanda/cfg/setup/bash.rpm.sh' \
  | sudo -E bash

sudo yum install redpanda

On Other Linux

To install from a .tar.gz archive, download the file and extract it into /opt/redpanda.

For amd64:

curl -LO \
  https://dl.redpanda.com/nzc4ZYQK3WRGd9sy/redpanda/raw/names/redpanda-amd64/versions/23.3.6/redpanda-23.3.6-amd64.tar.gz

For arm64:

curl -LO \
  https://dl.redpanda.com/nzc4ZYQK3WRGd9sy/redpanda/raw/names/redpanda-arm64/versions/23.3.6/redpanda-23.3.6-arm64.tar.gz

Replace 23.3.6 with the appropriate version you are trying to download.

GitHub Actions

    - name: start redpanda
      uses: redpanda-data/[email protected]
      with:
        version: "latest"

Now you should be able to connect to redpanda (kafka-api) running at localhost:9092

Build Manually

We use Bazel as our build system. Bazel automatically manages most of the toolchains and third-party dependencies, but there are a few system libraries and preinstalled tools our build assumes are available locally. You can bootstrap and build Redpanda along with all its tests using:

sudo ./bazel/install-deps.sh
bazel build --config=release //...

For more build configurations check out .bazelrc.

Release candidate builds

We create a release candidate (RC) build when we get close to a new release and publish these to make new features available for testing. RC builds are not recommended for production use.

RC releases on Debian/Ubuntu

curl -1sLf \
  'https://dl.redpanda.com/E4xN1tVe3Xy60GTx/redpanda-unstable/setup.deb.sh' \
  | sudo -E bash

sudo apt-get install redpanda

RC releases on Fedora/RedHat/Amazon Linux

curl -1sLf \
  'https://dl.redpanda.com/E4xN1tVe3Xy60GTx/redpanda-unstable/setup.rpm.sh' \
  | sudo -E bash

sudo yum install redpanda

RC releases on Docker

This is an example with the v23.1.1-rc1 version prior to the 23.1.1 release.

docker pull docker.redpanda.com/redpandadata/redpanda-unstable:v23.1.1-rc1
