From Redpanda topic to VeloDB query in seconds.

Redpanda is a high-performance, Kafka-API-compatible streaming platform. With VeloDB on the receiving end, every event you publish becomes queryable in seconds — easy to manage, no JVM, no waiting on batch jobs.

// About Redpanda

What Redpanda does

Redpanda is a streaming data platform that exposes the full Apache Kafka API on a single binary written in C++. A thread-per-core architecture eliminates GC pauses and gives predictable tail latency, while tiered storage offloads cold log segments to S3-compatible object storage so retention costs scale with usage instead of broker disks. Producers and consumers built for Apache Kafka work against Redpanda without code changes.

Why VeloDB + Redpanda

01

Drop-in Kafka, drop-in ingest

Use any Kafka client to publish events. VeloDB's Routine Load subscribes directly to Redpanda topics over the Kafka API, parses JSON, CSV, Avro, or Protobuf, and writes to columnar tables — no Connect cluster, no Flink job, no glue code.

02

Predictable latency end to end

Redpanda's thread-per-core C++ engine and VeloDB's vectorized execution keep tail latency low from publish to query. Events typically become queryable in VeloDB within seconds, even at six- and seven-figure events per second.

03

Operate one stack, not three

Redpanda ships as a single binary that is easy to deploy, monitor, and scale; VeloDB unifies real-time analytics, search, and ad-hoc SQL in one warehouse. Two products run the pipeline that used to need five.

04

Costs that scale with usage

Redpanda's tiered storage offloads cold segments to S3-compatible storage. VeloDB separates compute from storage and supports its own hot/cold tiering. Add retention or throughput without proportional spend.

// Use Cases

What you can build

Real-time observability

Stream logs, metrics, and traces from services into Redpanda, land them in VeloDB, and query across services, regions, and tenants — typically sub-second on TB-scale data.

IoT and connected fleets

Ingest millions of telemetry events per second from devices and vehicles. VeloDB serves live dashboards, geo-windowed aggregations, and anomaly alerts on the same warehouse where the data lands.

User-facing product analytics

Power in-product dashboards, funnels, and personalization with always-fresh data. The Kafka client → Redpanda topic → VeloDB Routine Load path removes batch lag from the user experience.

// Reference Architecture

How the data flows

Reference architecture: producers publish to Redpanda topics, VeloDB ingests via Routine Load, and BI tools, AI agents, and applications query VeloDB over the MySQL protocol
Producers publish to Redpanda topics over the Kafka API; VeloDB's Routine Load subscribes to those topics and lands events in columnar tables that BI tools, AI agents, and applications query via the MySQL protocol.
