What both publish
| Fact | Apache RocketMQ | AutoMQ |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | RocketMQ 5.x separates stateless Proxy from storage and compute so those layers can scale independently. | AutoMQ Software can be deployed on premises, in private or public clouds, using a binary, Helm, or Docker Compose. |
| Security | RocketMQ provides ACL and TLS, but operators must configure ACL or restrict access to trusted networks; the security guide warns that ACL is not enabled by default. | The security page describes TLS or mTLS for Kafka client connections, optional encryption at rest for AWS BYOC, and RBAC for AutoMQ Cloud control-plane operations. |
