Redpanda BYOC is built differently
In a BYOC architecture, you deploy the data plane in your own VPC. The control plane manages cluster operations, enforcing policies and enabling RBAC for organization-level resources like clusters and networks. The data plane, where your cluster runs, handles topics, consumer groups, connectors, and schemas.

See why industry leaders trust Redpanda BYOC
"We had a large Kafka environment (800M events per day). I dropped Redpanda in and changed nothing and that's when I was completely sold."
"Redpanda was able to handle the same load on far less resources than Kafka required. It was 5 to 6 times more efficient, greatly reducing our hardware costs as well as support and licensing costs."
"Redpanda helped us grow from the hundreds of millions of dollars in trading per day to billions of dollars."
"We have operational agility with Redpanda, meeting stringent SLOs while keeping developers focused on high-value work. Redpanda's tiered storage saves up to 30% on storage costs, easily handling 14.5GB/second."
"Redpanda rose to the top of our list because we knew its obsessed over performance and reliability at scale. We tested the data platform for up to 100M users with zero performance blips at 100GB/min throughput and peaks of 100K transactions/second."

BYOC frequently asked questions
Redpanda BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) is a fully managed, Kafka-compatible streaming data platform that runs inside your own cloud account (AWS, GCP, Azure). Unlike traditional SaaS offerings like Confluent Cloud, Redpanda BYOC gives you full control over your data, infrastructure, and security.
Yes. Redpanda BYOC keeps all your data within your VPC or private cloud infrastructure. This means you own the data plane, perfect for companies with strict security, compliance, or data sovereignty requirements. Redpanda is SOC 2 Type II certified and supports features like TLS encryption, RBAC, SSO, and audit logging to help you meet HIPAA, GDPR, and other compliance needs.
Engineers love Redpanda because it delivers Kafka compatibility without the complexity. It's written in C++ (not Java), requires no ZooKeeper, and offers ultra-low latency and high throughput out of the box. With Redpanda BYOC, developers can build real-time applications faster, avoid JVM tuning, and deploy directly in their cloud environment, all while using the same Kafka tools they already know.
Redpanda BYOC can reduce your total cost of ownership (TCO) by up to 60% compared to Confluent Cloud. That’s thanks to lower infrastructure requirements, elimination of data egress fees, and the ability to leverage your existing cloud discounts. You get predictable pricing based on cluster size, not surprise charges based on traffic spikes or throughput.
Absolutely. Redpanda is a drop-in replacement for Kafka, supporting the Kafka API out of the box. That means your existing producers, consumers, connectors, and tools like Kafka Streams, Flink, and ksqlDB will work seamlessly, no code changes required.
