The core broker (redpanda) is open source and available under the Business Source License 1.1, and a fully managed cloud service (Redpanda Cloud — Serverless, Dedicated, BYOC) is offered commercially. Redpanda Connect (formerly Benthos) provides stream processing. The platform exposes the Kafka wire protocol, an Admin API, a Schema Registry API, an HTTP Proxy (Pandaproxy), Kafka-compatible client APIs, and the Redpanda Cloud Control Plane and Data Plane APIs for managed deployments. image: https://kinlane-productions.s3.amazonaws.com/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg tags: -
