Free trial

A free trial on AWS is the fastest way to get started with Serverless. Each free-trial customer qualifies for $100 (USD) in credits to spend in the first 14 days. This should be enough to run Redpanda with reasonable throughput. No credit card is required. To continue using Serverless after your trial expires, you can enter a credit card and pay as you go. Any remaining credit balance is used before you are charged.

When either the credits expire or the days in the trial expire, the clusters move into a suspended state, and you won’t be able to access your data in either the Redpanda Cloud Console or with the Kafka API. There is a seven-day grace period following the end of the trial when you can add your credit card and restore service. After that, the data is permanently deleted. For questions about the trial, use the #serverless Community Slack channel.

After you start a trial, Redpanda instantly prepares an account for you. Your account includes a welcome cluster with a hello-world demo topic you can explore. It includes sample data so you can see how real-time messaging works before sending your own data.

Get started by creating a Redpanda Connect glossterm:pipeline[], or by following the steps in the Console to use rpk to interact with your cluster from the command line:

  1. Log in with rpk cloud login.

  2. Consume from the hello-world topic with rpk topic consume hello-world.

  3. In the Redpanda Cloud Console, navigate to the Topics page and open the hello-world topic to see the included messages.
