## What it is
Apache Artemis is a multi-protocol, high-performance message broker supporting AMQP 1.0, MQTT 3.1.1/5, STOMP, OpenWire, and JMS. It provides clustering, high availability via shared storage or replication, and low-latency persistent journaling for enterprise messaging.

## Use cases
- run a self-hosted message broker for microservices
- connect clients in Java, Python, C++, or .NET over AMQP
- support IoT devices using MQTT
- build high-availability messaging with replication
- migrate from HornetQ or ActiveMQ
- persist messages with low-latency journaling

## When to choose
- you need multi-protocol support (AMQP, MQTT, STOMP, JMS) in one broker
- you require clustering, HA, and disaster recovery features
- you want a mature Apache-licensed enterprise broker

## When to avoid
- you only need lightweight pub/sub without a full broker
- you prefer a cloud-managed queue service
- your stack is non-JVM and you want a simpler broker like NATS

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: message-queue, streaming, rpc
- domain: microservices, backend, developer-tools
- platform: jvm, self-hosted
- tags: amqp, mqtt, stomp, jms, openwire, message-broker, high-availability, clustering, messaging, linux, docker
