AutoMQ is a cloud-native Kafka distribution developed entirely in the Java language, supporting most Java platforms. For optimal performance, deploy on the Linux operating system, preferably on amd64 or arm64 architecture. If you need further guidance on deployment, refer to Deploy Multi-Nodes Cluster on Linux▸.

Each AutoMQ version is compatible with specific versions of Apache Kafka. Refer to the release notes for historical versions and detailed version mappings to choose the appropriate AutoMQ version.
