A multi-protocol proxy for connecting clients and services to Redpanda.
Overview
Zilla Plus is an enterprise-ready, Kafka-native edge, and service proxy. It is a flexible, secure, and reliable way of creating stateless, multi-protocol API entry points into your Redpanda cluster for both native and non-native Kafka clients.
With Zilla Plus, you can also expose topics inside your Redpanda cluster via declaratively defined REST, SSE, gRPC, and MQTT APIs.
See the CloudFormation template(s) below to facilitate configuring and deploying Zilla Plus for your connectivity use case.
Once Zilla Plus is deployed, its configuration can be updated to support additional connectivity patterns, i.e. a single Zilla instance can support Kafka, REST, and MQTT clients at once.
Highlights
- Flexibility: Seamlessly connect both native and non-native Kafka clients to your public or private Redpanda cluster. Declaratively defined Kafka, REST, SSE, gRPC, and MQTT APIs on top of your cluster.
- Security: Integrations with AWS Secrets Manager and AWS Certificate Manager.
- Performance: Zilla proxies are stateless and scale out linearly. When multiple Zilla instances are deployed, only a single NLB is required, even if there are multiple brokers present.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the AWS EC2 instance type you run Zilla Plus on. Pricing is usage-based, so charges accrue only while an instance is running. The many dimensions listed are the same product deployed on different EC2 instance sizes and families. Each instance type carries its own hourly software rate, letting you match compute capacity to your workload. Larger or specialized instances (for example, memory-optimized, compute-optimized, or GPU families) generally carry higher hourly rates. You deploy within your own AWS environment on EC2, and billing runs through AWS Marketplace.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension meters the software running on one EC2 instance of that type, charged per hour it runs. Charges accrue only while the instance is active. A fully stopped instance stops the hourly software charge, though underlying AWS storage or resource fees may still apply separately.
You pick one EC2 instance type to run Zilla Plus on. The gateway is stateless, so you can add or remove instances without coordination. Your hourly cost depends on which instance type you select and how many instances run concurrently. Larger or specialized families carry higher per-hour rates.
Each running instance bills independently at its own hourly rate. Adding instances adds each instance's hourly charge to your invoice. Switching to a larger instance type changes the per-hour rate for that instance. Because the runtime is stateless, you can scale instances up or down as workload changes.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
