Connect All the Things! Using NATS To Simplify Communication Everywhere
summary
NATS is an open source messaging fabric that claims to replace many point-to-point patterns with location-independent addressing and subject wildcards, supports request/reply and pub/sub, and adds JetStream persistence for durable streams, key/value and object stores. The demo uses the nats CLI and a React whiteboard talking to a demo server; JetStream shows replicated, replayable state and the room’s drawings persist. Reported numbers: ~250–300k persisted msgs/sec per stream, and benches of millions/sec for ephemeral request/reply. Built-in load balancing (queue groups), JWT-based decentralized security, and tiny-footprint (Raspberry Pi) deployment all work.
