## AI overview

The article previews Redpanda 25.3, focusing on Shadowing, a disaster recovery and business continuity feature for streaming workloads. Shadowing creates a byte-for-byte, offset-preserving hot standby of a production cluster in another region, including topics, configurations, consumer offsets, ACLs, and schemas. It is designed to provide recovery point and recovery time objectives measured in seconds, with setup through configuration or Redpanda Console and replication using the standard Kafka API.
