⚠️ Development Status RobustMQ is currently in early preview phase with active development and testing. A stable release is anticipated in Q3-Q4 2025. Our roadmap includes achieving production readiness and pursuing Apache top-level project status.
RobustMQ is a next-generation, high-performance message queue built in Rust, designed for modern cloud-native and AI systems. It unifies MQTT, Kafka, and AMQP protocols with compute-storage separation architecture, enabling microsecond latency and elastic scaling.
Traditional message queues face critical challenges in the AI era: protocol fragmentation requiring multiple systems, latency jitter failing real-time AI needs, compute-storage coupling preventing Serverless deployment, and high costs lacking elastic scaling.
RobustMQ provides a unified messaging platform with flexible architecture that supports all scenarios, eliminating the need to maintain multiple message queue systems.
Vision: Become the next-generation cloud-native and AI-native messaging infrastructure, targeting Apache top-level project status.
- 🚀 High Performance: Rust-powered zero-cost abstractions with microsecond latency and zero GC pauses
- 🏗️ Compute-Storage Separation: Stateless broker nodes enable second-level elastic scaling and Serverless deployment
- 🔌 Multi-Protocol Unified: Native support for MQTT 3.1/3.1.1/5.0, Kafka, and AMQP with protocol isolation
- 💾 Intelligent Storage Tiering: Memory/SSD/Object storage with Topic-level engine selection for cost optimization
- ☁️ Cloud-Native Ready: Kubernetes-native with auto-scaling, service discovery, and container-friendly deployment
- 🛠️ Zero-Operations: Single binary deployment with built-in Raft consensus and comprehensive management tools
- 🔐 Enterprise Security: Multi-auth support, fine-grained permissions, and end-to-end encryption
- 📊 Full Observability: Prometheus metrics, OpenTelemetry tracing, and Grafana dashboards
- Broker Server: Stateless protocol processing layer supporting MQTT, Kafka, and AMQP with million-level concurrent connections
- Meta Service: Raft-based distributed metadata management and cluster coordination with automatic failover
- Journal Server: High-performance persistent storage engine with WAL guarantees and pluggable storage backends
- Storage Adapter: Unified storage abstraction layer supporting memory, SSD, and object storage with intelligent tiering
- One Binary Deployment: Single executable with zero external dependencies for simplified operations
- Protocol Isolation: Dedicated ports per protocol (MQTT: 1883/1885/8083/8085, Kafka: 9092, AMQP: 5672, gRPC: 1228)
- Compute-Storage Separation: Stateless brokers enable independent scaling and Serverless deployment without data migration
- Topic-Level Storage: Flexible storage engine selection supporting memory, local, and cloud storage backends
