Redpanda is the most complete, Apache Kafka®-compatible streaming data platform, designed from the ground up to be lighter, faster, and simpler to operate. Free from ZooKeeper™ and JVMs, it prioritizes an end-to-end developer experience with a huge ecosystem of connectors, configurable tiered storage, and more.
Redpanda Data recommends using the following free, prebuilt stable releases.

Redpanda Data uses Bazel as the build system. Bazel automatically manages most of the toolchains and third-party dependencies.
We rely on bazelisk to get the right version of bazel needed for the build. You can for example install it as follows and add it to your $PATH (or use one of the other suggested ways from their repo).
wget -O ~/bin/bazel https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk/releases/latest/download/bazelisk-linux-amd64 && chmod +x ~/bin/bazel
There are a few system libraries and preinstalled tools our build assumes are available locally. To bootstrap and build redpanda along with all its tests.
sudo ./bazel/install-deps.sh
bazel build --config=release //...For more build configurations, see .bazelrc.
Redpanda Data creates a release candidate (RC) build when we get close to a new release, and we publish it to make new features available for testing. RC builds are not recommended for production use.
