Redpanda Data

Founded 2019

Stream real-time data and manage access controls for autonomous artificial intelligence agents

Pricing model

Free

You can use Redpanda to stream real-time data across systems and manage autonomous agent workloads safely. It provides a Kafka-compatible streaming engine that avoids JVM complexity and excessive infrastructure costs. With its agentic data plane, you can control what data your artificial intelligence agents access, enforce task-specific permissions, and inspect every action through immutable audit logs. It also lets you query historical and live data using SQL, integrate with hundreds of data sources, and trigger kill switches if agents exceed budgets or violate predefined operational rules.
