[//]: # "TODO(morsapaes) The Kafka guides need to be rewritten for consistency
with the Postgres ones. We should include spill to disk in the guidance then."

Because [Redpanda](https://www.redpanda.com/) is Kafka API-compatible,
Materialize can process data from it in the same way it processes data from
Kafka sources.

## Configuration

Two configuration parameters that are enabled by default in Kafka need to be
enabled explicitly in Redpanda:

```nofmt
--set redpanda.enable_transactions=true
--set redpanda.enable_idempotence=true
```

For more information on general Redpanda configuration, see the
[Redpanda documentation](https://docs.redpanda.com/home/).

## Supported versions

Materialize supports **Redpanda 24.1+** and is compatible with most common Redpanda hosted services. This includes [all officially supported versions of Redpanda](https://support.redpanda.com/hc/en-us/articles/20617574366743-Redpanda-Supported-Versions).
