Redpanda Cloud Summer 2025: Connect everywhere, Iceberg GA in cloud, and more

Redpanda Cloud has reinforced its status as a leading multi-cloud streaming platform with new updates and enhancements. Over June and July 2025, Redpanda Connect was made generally available across all deployment types, including Serverless, Dedicated, and Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) options. The platform introduced a new Spanner CDC connector for Google Cloud Spanner, enabling seamless change data capture and integration into Redpanda topics, alongside a new cache component optimized for write-heavy workloads. Additionally, a Slack reaction output feature was added for dynamic messaging based on streaming events. The introduction of an HTTP gateway input allows direct pipeline triggering via HTTP requests, enhancing flexibility for developers. Iceberg Topics have reached general availability for AWS and GCP BYOC clusters, enabling Kafka-compatible streaming data integration with Apache Iceberg tables for enhanced data lakehouse capabilities. Redpanda Serverless has been expanded with a new Schema Registry UI, client connection controls, and deployment options in three new AWS regions. Furthermore, Redpanda BYOC is now available on Microsoft Azure, offering users full control over their deployments while benefiting from Redpanda's managed services. These updates collectively enhance Redpanda Cloud's multi-cloud streaming capabilities, data connector ecosystem, and real-time lakehouse integration.
