Have folks here played with NATS? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjXIUPZ7ArM

Its great. Easy to scale from one machine to many. Can be even embedded in Go program. KV store is a nice addition, too.

been wanting to use this for almost half a decade now, but never got the chance

This looks super interesting, first time hearing about it (can’t believe the initial release is from 2011).

Thanks for sharing, I’ll probably try it out as a replacement for a simple grpc implementation (which led me to find nrpc - https://github.com/nats-rpc/nrpc).

Quite happy with it at work. For most of the data pipeline we use Kafka, but when we need a lot of parallelism or anticipate a lot of retries then we reach for NATS. It has a dizzying number of features and options but it runs great.
