NATS is easy to use
nc, err := nats.Connect("demo.nats.io")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer nc.Close()
// Subscribe
sub, err := nc.SubscribeSync("updates")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Wait for a message
msg, err := sub.NextMsg(10 * time.Second)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Use the response
log.Printf("Reply: %s", msg.Data)nc, err := nats.Connect("demo.nats.io")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer nc.Close()
// Use a WaitGroup to wait for a message to arrive
wg := sync.WaitGroup{}
wg.Add(1)
// Subscribe
if _, err := nc.Subscribe("updates", func(m *nats.Msg) {
wg.Done()
}); err != nil {

NATS queuing with NATS subject
environment deployment
command x100
x10
with queue group
@rophilogene
To consider
1. Slow consumers = low performance
2. STAN is not as mature as Kafka - But the NATS team is working hard on it :)
3. Queue group: random load balancing. No fair load balance :(
4. No letter box - if you lose your connection, you lose all pending messages.
