The update also expands high-throughput tiers, offering improved cost-efficiency for BYOC clusters with increased ingress, egress speeds, and partition limits, benefiting customers like ShareChat by significantly reducing cloud infrastructure costs. Additionally, Redpanda Cloud now offers 99.95% availability and supports Protocol Buffers in its sink connectors, improving data serialization and deserialization capabilities. The newly introduced Cloud API in private beta allows for infrastructure automation, simplifying cluster management and laying the foundation for a Redpanda Cloud Terraform provider.
