Kafka-native messaging.
A clear path forward.
Connect supported Kafka clients to KubeMQ. Assess compatibility first, then prepare a coordinated move of workloads and history.
- Transparent migration
Guide your migration through chat with your AI assistant and KubeMQ’s Migration MCP, while keeping the transition transparent to your customers.
- Gradual. Fully in your control.
Move step by step, choosing what to migrate and when.
- Keep your performance. Keep your quality.
KubeMQ delivers the Kafka performance and reliability your workloads depend on—and takes them further.
Compatibility across Kafka, RabbitMQ, MQTT, JMS/AMQP, STOMP, AWS SQS/SNS, and Google Pub/Sub for supported workloads.

Keep your applications. Control the transition.
Migrate seamlessly from Kafka with your AI assistant.
Use kmq, an agent-friendly CLI, with KubeMQ’s Migration MCP to assess, copy and validate through your AI assistant. Prepare alongside Kafka, then coordinate each cutover.
- Check compatibility
Assess your existing applications and workloads, then define your migration plan.
- Move and validate
Copy messages with KubeMQ migration tools and validate application behavior and performance.
- Switch gradually
After validation, switch applications in stages at a pace that fits your organization.
Keep the savings.
Keep operations simple.
Kubernetes-native operations make self-management efficient. KubeMQ fits the deployment, scaling, recovery, and automation practices your platform team already uses.
Messaging becomes part of your existing operating model, so the savings stay with your business instead of turning into a separate operations burden.

Higher throughput.
Lower latency than Kafka.
Tested against Kafka. KubeMQ delivered higher message throughput and lower average latency in the workload comparison.
Security
Run on your infrastructure, with configurable access controls and audit logging to support your organization’s security requirements.
Observability
OpenTelemetry, management tools, and the CLI give your team visibility into messaging and day-to-day control.
AI agent communication
Connect AI agents with your applications and with each other. MCP/A2A support brings agent communication into your messaging platform.
How is the 80% example calculated?
The chart compares a $1 million annual current-platform cost with a $200,000 KubeMQ scenario. The 80% difference is arithmetic, not a price quote, benchmark, or customer result. KubeMQ uses fixed-cost pricing, with tiers based on package size rather than message volume. Calculate savings from your own costs.
Does fixed-cost licensing mean all costs stay flat?
KubeMQ licensing is fixed within your selected package tier, with no message-volume charges. Moving to a different package tier changes the license price. Infrastructure and operational costs depend on your workload and deployment.
How do I migrate from Kafka?
KubeMQ’s migration tools help you assess compatibility, copy messages, and map consumer offsets. Validate your applications and performance before switching workloads in stages, with a migration plan tailored to your environment.
Explore migrationCan we migrate gradually instead of switching everything at once?
Yes. Begin with a selected workload, validate compatibility and performance, and expand in controlled stages. KubeMQ migration tools help your team move quickly while retaining control of the rollout and cutover timing.
