Bye-Bye Kafka -
"Enter the challenger: a scrappy open-source alternative that’s been quietly gaining ground ... Spoiler: it’s NATS. And it’s not just keeping up — it’s redefining what streaming can look like."

Thanks for the article @ewassef ❤️
@nats_io In less than 5 minutes, spin up a NATS request/reply service that's backed by Claude.
Chat, enrichment, extraction, classification... all the LLM patterns are no available to use within your distributed NATS applications.
🎭 NATS: When Your Digital Child Becomes the Prize in a Custody Battle
Reminder to all companies:
If you build your empire on open-source and contribute nothing back, don't be surprised when the ground starts cracking.
NATS, one of the few messaging systems that actually works without summoning ancient demons, now finds itself torn between its creators at Synadia and its adoptive guardians at CNCF. Like any good custody battle, it’s about one thing: Money. 🤑
As a tiny contributor to NATS, it fills me with childlike glee and existential dread to witness what happens when open source ideals collide headfirst with cold, hard business reality.
It’s a classic story:
A vendor generously donates an open-source jewel… only to demand it back when the math stops adding up.
Synadia, the ever-devoted parent, wants to put NATS under the Business Source License (BSL) to secure its survival. Meanwhile, CNCF holds the project in a loving but legally fortified embrace, refusing to let go.
CNCF, clutching its righteous torch of community ownership, refuses to hand over the toys, reminding Synadia: “You gave it away. There are rules. Also… you signed things.”
As a microscopic speck in this universe of giants, I have one simple emotion: sadness.
Sadness that the best technology can still be crushed under the weight of human greed, misaligned incentives, and tragic irony.
OSS survives because we believe in it. OSS dies when we monetize belief.
Whatever happens, little NATS deserves better than a lawsuit. It deserves a future.
Will I stop contributing to NATS?
No. I'm far too stubborn for that.
Will I trust it the same way?
Ask me again when the lawsuits stop.
⚡ Still contributing. Still dreaming. Still worried.

@TheFigen_ That is a Serval, not a cat (not a Savannah, it’s a Serval).
It just wants to play (wrestling) with the dog but the dog is not so sure about that :)
I installed a box high up on a pole somewhere in the Mission. Inside is a crappy Android phone, set to Shazam constantly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's solar powered, and the mic is pointed down at the street below https://t.co/8D4yYNBPgu
@hugozap@nats_io You have to allow deny the set of $JS.API subjects that correspond to doing things on a particular bucket since the bucket's name is part of the subject in the user's claim.
🚀@SUSE & @synadia bring #HighAvailability to #k8s deployments at the #edge with two-node solution, resulting in increased uptime & reliability for critical workloads in remote locations. Come to Kubernetes on Edge Day and visit us at #KubeCon for a demo.🔗https://t.co/rNgylSmA76
Packing up for #kubecon Paris!
There will be a lot of @synadia activity and opportunities to talk about @nats_io .
Definately check out our talk about NATS, Edge and AI https://t.co/bCJaNRz4V2 I’ll be giving with awesome @thecodegangsta !
In case you missed it: we have a brand new video all about @nats_io KV. We compare to redis, go over all the operations, move and mirror a KV across the world and write a leader election system. All in one video! https://t.co/zTAE7jbpgD
@paulgb@DanaWoodman About the security model: there is now the auth callout feature that allow you to develop a callout service to integrate with whatever auth system you are using.
I've seen so many teams replace Redis with @nats_io JetStream KV, and now it's your turn to find out why it's so special. Check out our latest video!

Next week we'll have another @nats_io office hours with the @synadia team to answer questions and share some cool upcoming features in NATS. Hit that notify button in YouTube or subscribe to be notified when we go live next Thursday!
