View Full DocumentationThe Diskless Advantage
Traditional Kafka was designed for the era of local disks. AutoMQ was re-architected from day one for cloud object storage. This isn't just about eliminating problems—it's about redefining what cloud-native Kafka should be.
Apache Kafka® | AutoMQ | |
|---|---|---|
Cloud-Native Storage Architecture S3 as the single source of truth, no local disk management | ||
No EBS Volume Dependencies Eliminate EBS provisioning, scaling, and monitoring overhead | ||
Intelligent Traffic Orchestration Automatic partition and broker load balancing without manual rebalancing | ||
Balanced Performance Architecturally eliminate hot spots and disk bottlenecks | ||
Elastic Resource Utilization Pay only for what you use, no capacity reservation for peak loads | ||
Simplified Network Architecture No VPC peering, PrivateLink, NAT gateways, or complex networking setup required | ||
Automated Scaling Operations Built-in auto-scaling without custom scripts, tools, or operators | ||
Elastic Workload Isolation Stream-based architecture enables fine-grained resource isolation | ||
Native Integration Capabilities Built-in data pipelines without deploying separate connector infrastructure |
Currently in production at:
Powering Your Kafka Ecosystem
Go beyond basic Kafka with enterprise‑grade solutions for seamless migration, managed connectors, multi‑cluster resilience, and lakehouse integration—all in one unified platform.
Table Topic
Natively integrates Iceberg/Delta Lake table formats to auto-convert Kafka topics into query-ready tables without ETL pipelines.
Managed Connector
300+ connectors with 100% compatibility with Kafka upstream and downstream ecosystem.
Kafka Linking
Zero-downtime migration from any Kafka. Byte-for-byte replication. Rolling cutover. Done.
Multi-Cluster DR
Unified access point for multiple clusters with transparent topic cluster switching through proxy metadata routing for disaster recovery capabilities.
BYOC or Software? Choose Your Experience
Both models guarantee 100% sovereignty by keeping your Data, Metadata (KRaft), and Control Plane entirely within your own VPC.
AutoMQ BYOC
The "Turnkey" Solution
Fully automated orchestration for teams that want a managed service experience.
One-Click Cluster Management
Deploy and manage the entire lifecycle via the AutoMQ Cloud Console. No manual provisioning of brokers or infrastructure.
Fully Automated Operations
Enjoy "Set-it-and-Forget-it" Kafka. AutoMQ handles automated scaling, rebalancing, and version patching within your VPC.
Ultimate Privacy (Triple-Plane Isolation)
The Control Plane, Data, and KRaft Metadata all stay inside your VPC. You get SaaS-level automation without ever opening your network to external third parties.
Flexible Cloud Billing
Pay-as-you-go pricing integrated directly with Cloud Marketplace subscriptions (AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI).
AutoMQ Software
The "Integrated" Solution
Leverage your existing DevOps assets and Kubernetes ecosystem.
Preserve Existing Tech Stacks
Built for teams using Strimzi, Helm Charts, or custom K8s Operators. Drop AutoMQ into your existing Kafka deployment workflow without changing a line of code.
Total Architectural Control
Perfect for power users who want to manage their own maintenance windows, resource scheduling, and infrastructure tuning.
Same "Zero-Leak" Security
Just like BYOC, your Data, KRaft Metadata, and Control Plane remain 100% within your security perimeter (Public Cloud or Private IDC).
Flexible Enterprise Billing
Supports Pay-as-you-go + Marketplace (plus a dedicated Support Fee) or Custom Contract options for large-scale enterprise needs.
| Feature | BYOC | Software |
|---|---|---|
| Data, Metadata & Control Plane | Inside Your Cloud VPC | Your EnvironmentVPC or On-Prem |
| Deployment Method | AutomatedOne-Click via Console | Self-ManagedStrimzi, Helm, or Manual |
| Billing Mode | Pay-as-you-go / Marketplace | Pay-as-you-go or Contract |
| Additional Fees | Zero | Support Fee |
Why 80% of our public cloud customers choose BYOC:
Because the Data, Metadata, and Control Plane are already isolated in your VPC, BYOC offers the same security as Software but removes the operational burden of managing Strimzi or Helm. It's the fastest path to a production-ready, diskless Kafka.
