What kind of gaps are there currently between Kafka and RedPanda? Particularly in the "Enterprise" world (e.g. security, etc).

In progress right now are transactions and ACLs. A preliminary form of ACLs with SCRAM will be available later this month. Transactions will come early next year. Those are probably the most visible differences.

That's great! Would it be correct to assume that KSQL works?

[dotnwat]

Having not tried, I would expect ksql to not work until transaction support lands. That said, perhaps there are some ways to configure it to avoid dependencies on those underlying APIs.
