AMCP v1.6: Quarkus-Native Agent Mesh Framework with Kafka

Status & Badges

Technology Stack

🎯 What is AMCP v1.6?

AMCP v1.6 is an open-source Java framework for building distributed multi-agent systems with:

• Quarkus Extension: Cloud-native deployment with minimal memory footprint
• Kafka Integration: Event-driven communication and streaming
• Agent Mobility: Agents migrate between nodes seamlessly
• Enterprise Security: TLS, mTLS, RBAC authentication
• Real-Time Coordination: Sub-millisecond latency messaging

🚀 Why AMCP v1.6?

For Quarkus Developers

• Native image support (GraalVM)
• Minimal startup time (<100ms)
• Low memory usage (50MB+)
• Perfect for serverless and containers

For Kafka Users

• Native Kafka producer/consumer
• Event sourcing patterns
• Stream processing integration
• Real-time agent coordination

For Enterprise Teams

• Production-ready
• Distributed tracing
• Comprehensive monitoring
• Enterprise support

📊 AMCP v1.6 vs Alternatives

⚡ Quick Start

1. Create Quarkus Project with AMCP

quarkus create app my-agent-app \
  --extension=amcp-quarkus

cd my-agent-app

2. Add Kafka Extension

quarkus extension add kafka

3. Configure Kafka

# application.properties
kafka.bootstrap.servers=localhost:9092
amcp.kafka.enabled=true
amcp.kafka.topic.prefix=amcp-

4. Create Your First Agent

@QuarkusMain
public class MyAgent extends Agent {
    @Inject
    KafkaProducer<String, String> producer;
    
    @Override
    public void initialize(AgentContext context) {
        context.subscribe("events", this::handleEvent);
    }
    
    private void handleEvent(Message message) {
        producer.send("results", message.getPayload());
    }
}

5. Run in Dev Mode
