Blog post from Redpanda
Redpanda Serverless on AWS is now generally available, offering a fully managed, consumption-based platform that supports Apache Kafka-compatible data streaming workloads with features like enterprise-grade security and production-ready observability. This platform introduces a unique hybrid networking model, allowing simultaneous use of AWS PrivateLink for secure production traffic and a public endpoint for external data and developer access. Redpanda Serverless simplifies infrastructure management by providing built-in elastic scaling and automatic handling of traffic spikes, enabling users to focus more on application development rather than managing data streaming infrastructure. It caters to various sectors, including consumer applications, IoT, and financial services, by offering flexibility in cost and capabilities without the need for long-term contracts. The platform integrates seamlessly with existing observability tools like Prometheus and Grafana, providing full visibility into streaming data infrastructure without requiring proprietary solutions, and it supports any Kafka use case with scalable throughput and storage. Users can experiment and grow their applications without concern for infrastructure costs, benefiting from a model that combines serverless agility with enterprise-grade security.
