I was unfamiliar with Redpanda, and now I know and trust it. Whatever marketing budget Redpanda spent to get a Jepsen report was well worth it.

Agree. Nowadays, I see anything that did not go through Jepsen with suspicion. Forces me to do the triple of technical due diligence.

One of the clearest indications prices for a service should be raised I’ve ever seen. Can we get patio11 in here to say the thing?

  Do you have any information on what Jepsen charges? For all we know, it could be precisely the right amount.

    kyle is very friendly and I recommend reaching out. we can't and wouldn't disclose any pricing that is not public information. would be unethical on my part. all i can say is we wish to continue our work with him indefinitely as long as we keep making progress on the product :)

I happened to know RedPanda founder back in the days he was at Concord.io (as a founder and a main dev). The level of obsession with performance and optimization of this guy was insane. He's not only extremelly skilled with C++, but also very passionate about rethinking large and complex systems and rebuilding them to enable 10-100x speed improvements. It's like his personal hobby – take a piece of software everyone use, and optimize it to the limits of physics, usually by implementing better version from scratch himself :) Plus, he's an excellent communicator. Watching their team working I was always thinking that successful companies can be built only with that level of passion and expertise in a single package.

  and they hired Travis Downs, who is probably even more knowledgeable about optimization.
