= Why use Apache ActiveMQ Artemis?
:idprefix:
:idseparator: -
Here are just a few reasons:
* 100% open source software.
Apache ActiveMQ Artemis is licensed using the Apache Software License v 2.0 to minimise barriers to adoption.
* Apache ActiveMQ Artemis is designed with usability in mind.
* Written in Java.
Runs on any platform with a Java 11+ runtime, that's everything from Windows desktops to IBM mainframes.
* Amazing performance.
Our ground-breaking high performance journal provides persistent messaging performance at rates normally seen for non-persistent messaging, our non-persistent messaging performance rocks the boat too.
* Full feature set.
All the features you'd expect in any serious messaging system, and others you won't find anywhere else.
* Elegant, clean-cut design with minimal third party dependencies.
Run ActiveMQ Artemis stand-alone, run it in integrated in your favourite Java EE application server, or run it embedded inside your own product.
It's up to you.
* Seamless high availability.
We provide a HA solution with automatic client failover so you can guarantee zero message loss or duplication in event of server failure.
* Hugely flexible clustering.
Create clusters of servers that know how to load balance messages.
Link geographically distributed clusters over unreliable connections to form a global network.
Configure routing of messages in a highly flexible way.
