<!-- Source: https://docs.redpanda.com/cloud-data-platform/reference/rpk/rpk-transform/rpk-transform.md -->

Develop, build, deploy, and manage WebAssembly (Wasm) data transforms for Redpanda.

## [](#usage)Usage

```bash
rpk transform [flags]
```

## [](#aliases)Aliases

```bash
rpk wasm
rpk transfrom
```

## [](#subcommands)Subcommands

| Command | Description |
| --- | --- |
| rpk transform build | Build a transform. This command looks in the current working directory for a transform.yaml file. |
| rpk transform delete | Delete a data transform. |
| rpk transform deploy | Deploy a transform. When run in the same directory as a transform.yaml, this reads the configuration file, then looks for a .wasm file with the same name as your project. |
| rpk transform init | Initialize a new data transform project. Creates a new directory with the required project files. |
| rpk transform list | List data transforms. This command lists all data transforms in a cluster, as well as showing the state of a individual transform processor, such as if it’s errored or how many records are pending to be processed (lag). |
| rpk transform logs | View logs for a transform. Data transform’s STDOUT and STDERR are captured during runtime and written to an internally managed topic _redpanda.transform_logs. |

## [](#global-flags)Global flags

| Value | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| --config | string | Redpanda or rpk config file; default search paths are ~/.config/rpk/rpk.yaml, $PWD/redpanda.yaml, and /etc/redpanda/redpanda.yaml. |
| -X, --config-opt | stringArray | Override rpk configuration settings; -X help for detail or -X list for terser detail. |
| --ignore-profile | bool | Ignore rpk.yaml and redpanda.yaml; use default settings. |
| --profile | string | rpk profile to use. |
| -v, --verbose | bool | Enable verbose logging. |
