[//]: # "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 is Kafka API-compatible, Materialize can process data from it in the same way it processes data from Kafka sources.

Two configuration parameters that are enabled by default in Kafka need to be enabled explicitly in Redpanda:
--set redpanda.enable_transactions=true
--set redpanda.enable_idempotence=true
For more information on general Redpanda configuration, see the Redpanda documentation.
Materialize supports Redpanda 24.1+ and is compatible with most common Redpanda hosted services. This includes all officially supported versions of Redpanda.
