Has anyone used Redpanda? I stumbled upon it when researching streaming, it claims to be Kafka compatible but higher performance and easier to manage. Haven't tried it myself but interested if anyone else has experience.

Plenty of people choose Redpanda because it’s the easiest getting started experience for kafka. There is a single binary for the full broker, where I have never seen Apache Kafka as easy to setup. It’s got a great UI as well.

The quickstart to getting everything running locally all documented here: https://docs.redpanda.com/current/get-started/quick-start/#d...
