In Redpanda, all messages are organized by glossterm:topic[] and distributed across multiple partitions, based on a https://www.redpanda.com/guides/kafka-tutorial-kafka-partition-strategy[partition strategy^]. For example, when using the Round Robin strategy, a producer writing to a topic with five partitions would approximately distribute 20% of messages per glossterm:partition[].

Within a partition, each message (once accepted and acknowledged by the partition leader) is permanently assigned a unique sequence number called an glossterm:offset[]. Offsets enable consumers to resume processing from a specific point, such as after an application outage. If an outage prevents your application from receiving events, you can use the consumer offset to retrieve only the events that occurred during the downtime. By default, the first message in a partition is assigned offset 0, the next is offset 1, and so on. You can manually specify a specific start value for offsets if needed. Once assigned, offsets are immutable, ensuring that the order of messages within a partition is preserved.
