Abstract
Even if synchronous calls are the most popular way to communicate between distributed services, event based communication is a common alternative due to its advantages in terms of decoupling between producers and consumers. Nats.io is an open source messaging system written in go and hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. In this talk we will examine nats, what are its features, what problems it tries to solve and why it is a good fit for applications written in Go. On top of that, we’ll give a look at nats complementary solution for persisting and distributing events: nats streaming.
