AutoMQ

What AutoMQ is

AutoMQ is Kafka-compatible streaming software that runs Kafka on cloud object storage. It supports S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, MinIO, and Ceph, and can be deployed on premises or in private and public clouds using a binary, Helm, or Docker Compose. The homepage states sub-10ms P99 latency, and the software automatically scales with traffic and rebalances partitions across brokers. Table Topic can materialize Kafka topics as Iceberg or Delta Lake tables without ETL pipelines; Spark, Trino, and Flink can query those tables directly. Managed Connector runs Kafka Connect workers in a customer’s Kubernetes environment and provides logs, metrics, and monitoring for throughput, task health, record failures, and anomalies. The product also lists stream processing, schema registry, exactly-once delivery, up to 90 days of retention, and 300 connectors. Supported client languages include Java, C/C++, Go, Python, and NodeJS. AutoMQ was founded in 2022 and launched its open-source product in November 2023. The Pro plan costs $300/mo, and a 30-day free trial is available without a credit card. There is no free plan; Enterprise pricing is by contact. The company says commercial editions keep control and data planes within customer-owned cloud or data-center boundaries.
