Reinventing the Streaming Data Platform for the Cloud Era.

Since 2011, Apache Kafka has fundamentally redefined the modern data streaming stack. As engineers who have spent over a decade building on Kafka, we haven't just witnessed its global success—we've grown alongside it and learned from its architectural brilliance. Today, we are honored to embark on a new chapter: making Kafka thrive in the cloud-native era.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the thousands of global committers who have shaped Kafka into the gold standard of event streaming. In designing AutoMQ, we made a deliberate choice: preserve the entire Kafka core—all the mature, battle-tested logic that developers trust—and focus our innovation solely on reimagining the storage layer for the cloud. This ensures that the Kafka community's work continues to deliver value, while we solve the modern challenges of elasticity and cost-efficiency.

At AutoMQ, our philosophy is simple: We are users, we are fans, and we are contributors. We are committed to following the upstream community closely and giving back. Our mission is to provide every data engineer with a cloud-native Kafka experience that honors its roots while embracing the future.
