Case Study: Lacework scales data streaming 10x and cuts cloud costs with Redpanda Data

Lacework scales data streaming 10x and saves 30% on cloud costs

Lacework, a cloud security platform, needed a more scalable and efficient way to handle massive real-time data streams as it expanded into new clouds. Its proprietary streaming system was struggling with high-throughput workloads, rising complexity, and cost pressures, making it difficult to maintain strict service-level objectives.

Lacework chose Redpanda Data and deployed Redpanda Self-Managed (Enterprise) as the core of its new streaming architecture. With Redpanda, Lacework achieved 10x faster data throughput, reached peak performance of 14.5 GBps, and reduced cloud storage costs by up to 30%, while also lowering operational complexity and improving scalability for future growth.
