# Compatibility with Apache Kafka

> AutoMQ is a cloud-native, Kafka-compatible service offering seamless integration with Apache Kafka. Enjoy scalable, cost-efficient performance while maintaining API compatibility.

AutoMQ is a next-generation Apache Kafka distribution reimagined with cloud-native principles, fully compatible with Apache Kafka protocols and features. This document provides a comprehensive overview of AutoMQ's compatibility across different versions.

## Apache Kafka Compatibility Overview

AutoMQ strategically leverages the Apache Kafka computing layer code, making only minimal modifications in the storage layer. This approach ensures full compatibility with relevant versions of Apache Kafka. Applications built on Apache Kafka can transition to AutoMQ seamlessly.

During the compatibility verification phase, AutoMQ employed Apache Kafka's test case projects and successfully passed the tests for relevant versions.

AutoMQ corresponds directly to Apache Kafka version numbers. For details on the compatibility between AutoMQ and Apache Kafka versions, please refer to the [Release Notes▸](https://github.com/AutoMQ/automq/releases/). Each AutoMQ version ensures compatibility with Kafka Client, Connector, Proxy, and other components within the Apache Kafka ecosystem.

<Info>
  AutoMQ achieves adaptation to Apache Kafka by replacing micro facets at the storage layer, allowing for swift adaptation to new community versions. It supports the latest updates to Apache Kafka versions within T+1 month.
