That sounds seriously impressive. It would be great if you can show a
comparison of your benchmark result of Apache Kafka vs AutoMQ.

Does it also utilize the recent shiny kernel feature, io_uring?

I think integrating io_uring could be a cool way to boost I/O
performance even further, especially with your network and object
storage setup. Curious to hear your thoughts on that.

io_uring will likely be the next big thing. We are still early...

Absolutely garbage. You're just dumping garbage on the internet. If
you ask for feedback, use real email.

This isn't new; Other GNU/Weeb members got the same email last month:

    https://t.me/GNUWeeb/1160366

I'm not sure what the motive is. But Xiaorui Wang is indeed a very
suspicious person.

Here's the deal so far:

    @ryukora got an email from automq-inc.org domain
    @fadhil_riyanto got one from automq.com domain

And this time, they use automq.io. Looks like this person is smuggling
across different domains. Totally not a legit email. Just drop
incoming mails from the name "Xiaorui Wang".

Sounds like a Chinese name. And this cina is targeting GNU/Weeb
members and mailing list now.

(( woooooo,, why are the average spammers come from cina? ))
