Redpanda is a Kafka-compatible data streaming platform built in C++ that delivers 10x better performance with simpler operations and no JVM dependency.
Redpanda is a data streaming company founded in 2020 that has raised over $200M to build an Apache Kafka-compatible streaming platform implemented in C++ that eliminates the performance and operational complexity of the Java-based Kafka ecosystem. The platform is designed to be a drop-in replacement for Kafka, allowing existing Kafka producers and consumers to connect without code changes while delivering significantly better throughput and latency at lower cost. Redpanda eliminates ZooKeeper dependency using a native Raft consensus implementation, simplifying operations and reducing the number of services teams must manage. The platform supports sub-10 millisecond latency at high throughput, making it suitable for demanding real-time applications including financial data processing, IoT telemetry, and AI inference pipelines. Redpanda offers both self-hosted open-source and managed cloud versions, with the cloud platform providing serverless consumption-based pricing. The company serves data engineering teams at technology companies, financial institutions, and enterprises building real-time data pipelines who want Kafka compatibility without the operational burden of the Kafka ecosystem. Redpanda has become a popular alternative for teams frustrated with Kafka's complexity while needing its ecosystem compatibility.
Adept AI raised $415M to pioneer computer-use AI agents; its core research and agent team moved to Amazon in 2024 in a landmark talent acquisition while the company continues developing ACT-1 for enterprise automation.
Adept AI was founded in 2022 by a team of former OpenAI, DeepMind, and Google Brain researchers to build AI that can take actions on computers — navigating software interfaces, filling forms, and executing multi-step workflows in any application. Its ACT-1 model demonstrated the ability to control web browsers and desktop applications through natural language instructions, pioneering the computer-use agent paradigm that Anthropic later commercialized with Claude's computer use feature.
