Redpanda

Redpanda is a Kafka-API-compatible streaming data platform, lighter and simpler than Kafka (no JVM, no ZooKeeper). It ships with the Redpanda Console UI: - Cluster overview: status, brokers online, partitions and replicas - Topic management: create/delete topics, browse partitions and messages, search by offset or time - Schema Registry: register and manage Avro/JSON/Protobuf schemas - Consumer group monitoring: status and lag - Security & quotas Ideal for event-driven architectures, log pipelines, message queues, and data sync. Connect any Kafka client (Python/Go/Node/Java) to produce and consume.
