Fully managed message queuing service for decoupling and scaling distributed applications
Discover top open-source software, updated regularly with real-world adoption signals.

High-performance multi-protocol messaging platform for cloud-native AI workloads
RobustMQ provides a Rust‑based, distributed queue with native MQTT, AMQP, Kafka, RocketMQ, multi‑tenancy, and built‑in observability for cloud‑native AI workloads.

RobustMQ is a Rust‑written, distributed message queue designed for modern cloud‑native and AI applications. It targets developers and operators who need a single broker that can handle multiple protocols—MQTT (3/4/5), AMQP, Kafka, and RocketMQ—while offering strong safety guarantees and low‑latency performance.
The platform separates compute, storage, and scheduling, enabling horizontal scaling by adding nodes. Storage is pluggable, supporting local files, S3, HDFS, and other backends. Built‑in security features include authentication, authorization, and encryption. Observability is provided out‑of‑the‑box via Prometheus and OpenTelemetry. Deployment is streamlined: a single binary runs the broker, meta service, and journal server, and the system is Kubernetes‑ready with auto‑scaling and service discovery. Early‑preview binaries are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows, with Docker images forthcoming.
When teams consider RobustMQ, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.

Global messaging service for event ingestion and fan‑out
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Real‑time IoT telemetry ingestion
Scalable MQTT ingestion with low latency and per‑device isolation
AI model training data streaming
High‑throughput Kafka pipelines feeding distributed training jobs
Multi‑tenant SaaS messaging platform
Virtual clusters per customer, ensuring data isolation and quota control
Hybrid cloud data replication
Seamless persistence to S3 or HDFS with built‑in replication and failover
It natively supports MQTT (3.x/4.x/5.x), AMQP, Kafka, and RocketMQ.
RobustMQ provides a single binary that runs as a Deployment; it includes service discovery, auto‑scaling, and Prometheus metrics for Kubernetes environments.
A Docker image is planned; currently you can run the pre‑built binaries or build from source.
The pluggable storage layer supports local file systems, Amazon S3, HDFS, and can be extended to other backends.
A production‑ready version is expected in the second half of 2025.
