Analysis
Zhou Xinyu, the co-founder and CTO of AutoMQ, began his career at Alibaba, where he contributed significantly to the company’s cloud migration efforts. “After graduating, I joined Alibaba and initially worked on supporting Alibaba’s middleware department, which sustains the Singles’ Day event on Taobao and Tmall,” Zhou shared during the interview. His experience with public and hybrid clouds while at Alibaba laid the foundation for his understanding of the cloud-native landscape. The establishment of AutoMQ in late 2022 was driven by a vision to innovate within the cloud-native space. Zhou explained, “Our mission at AutoMQ is to first bring foundational software in the messaging and stream storage fields into the cloud-native domain.” This focus on cloud-native solutions reflects a broader industry shift towards cloud optimisation, a trend Zhou has observed closely throughout his career. AutoMQ’s foundation is built on the idea that foundational software must evolve to meet the demands of modern cloud environments. Zhou emphasised, “We believe that all foundational software has the potential to transition to a cloud-native stage in the future.” This vision guides AutoMQ’s current projects and long-term goals.
