Software Artifact

AutoMQ is a cloud-native Kafka distribution fully developed in Java, supporting most Java platforms. For optimal performance, it is recommended to deploy on a Linux operating system, preferably with amd64 or arm64 architecture. For more deployment guidance, refer to Cluster Deployment on Linux▸.

Versioning

AutoMQ follows the semantic versioning specification, with a format of {major version}.{minor version}.{patch version}, where

• major version increments for significant upgrades or breaking changes

• minor version increments for new features that maintain backward compatibility

• patch version increments for bug fixes.

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.
