KubeMQ started as an internal project at a FinTech company to upgrade their infrastructure from monolithic to distributed services with zero downtime using containers. They developed KubeMQ as an open source message broker for containers since no existing MQ could meet their requirements. KubeMQ integrates with Kubernetes and other CNCF projects to provide a small footprint broker with high throughput, observability, security, and support for multiple languages and messaging patterns to make it easy to deploy and scale distributed services.
