Multi-Protocol Messaging with Seamless Interoperation ​

FlowMQ revolutionizes enterprise messaging by natively supporting multiple protocols within a single unified platform. Unlike traditional architectures that require separate brokers and complex bridges, FlowMQ provides first-class support for MQTT, Kafka, and AMQP protocols through a unified routing core that enables seamless cross-protocol communication.

Native Protocol Support ​

FlowMQ's architecture eliminates the complexity of managing multiple specialized messaging systems. Instead of deploying separate brokers for each protocol, FlowMQ provides native, high-performance implementations that all operate on the same underlying unified topic space.

MQTT Protocol ​

  • Full MQTT 3.1.1 and 5.0 support with QoS levels 0, 1, and 2
  • Lightweight pub/sub messaging optimized for IoT devices and mobile clients
  • Topic hierarchies using forward slashes (sensors/home/temperature)
  • Wildcard subscriptions with + (single-level) and # (multi-level) patterns
  • Built-in security with TLS encryption and authentication

Kafka Protocol ​

  • Complete Kafka API compatibility for producers, consumers, and admin operations
  • Distributed streaming with partitioning and consumer groups
  • At-least-once semantics and offset management
  • High durability based on cloud object storage
  • Stream processing with support for Kafka Streams and Kafka Connect

AMQP Protocol(WIP) ​

  • Enterprise messaging patterns including point-to-point and publish-subscribe
  • Message durability with persistent queues and exchanges
  • Advanced routing with topic exchanges and binding keys
  • Transaction support for reliable message processing
  • Integration with existing AMQP-based enterprise systems

Cross-Protocol Interoperation based on Unified Topics ​

At the core of FlowMQ's multi-protocol support is the Unified Topics feature. This breakthrough capability allows a single logical topic to be accessed simultaneously by clients using different protocols—without bridges, adapters, or data transformation.

Streaming and Persistence Integration ​

FlowMQ's streaming feature adds powerful persistence capabilities that work seamlessly across all protocols. Messages can be automatically captured and stored in durable streams based on topic filters.
