Overview
AutoMQ is a cloud-native version of Kafka that stores data on object storage such as S3 instead of local disks. It stays 100% compatible with Kafka's APIs and protocol, so existing Kafka clients and tools keep working.
What it does well
Because data lives on object storage (S3, GCS or Azure Blob), there are no disks to manage and storage capacity is effectively unlimited. Brokers are stateless and scale in seconds without partition reassignment, and clients connect to brokers in their own zone, which avoids cross-zone data transfer costs. The team cites customers such as Grab, JD.com and Honda.
Why it’s in the collection
AutoMQ keeps the Kafka ecosystem while removing much of the cost and operational work of running Kafka on disks. It's Apache-licensed.
