Redpanda

Redpanda is a Kafka®-compatible streaming platform designed for low-latency and high-performance workloads without JVM overhead. It eliminates ZooKeeper and reduces infrastructure complexity while exposing the Kafka API.

Using Redpanda with GlassFlow

Redpanda implements the Kafka wire protocol. Connect with the GlassFlow Kafka source — the configuration is identical to any other Kafka cluster.

Local / unsecured Redpanda

Redpanda Cloud / SASL_SSL

{

    "brokers": ["seed-xxxxx.region.aws.cloud.redpanda.com:9092"],
    "protocol": "SASL_SSL",

Redpanda Cloud also supports SCRAM-SHA-512 — set mechanism accordingly. Use the user/role credentials created in the Redpanda Cloud console under Security → Users.
