What does NATS do that you think is amazing?

• htjglhktbrn 5y ago
  It took me two days to learn it's specifics 3 years ago, and after that I never-ever had a problem with it. ItJustWorks(TM). In this sense it's a bit like Sqlite, which also JustWorks, as opposed to something like Postgres which requires more fiddling and maintenance. And functionally, it allowed me to create a service-bus topology where multiple processes can post messages on a set of subjects that can be subscribed by multiple other processes (think stock market quotes). This pattern is surprisingly difficult to implement in other message brokers.

    Enlighten me on surprisingly difficult? Topics are a pretty well known feature. The key difference between nats and rabbitmq is that nats disconnects a consumer if it is not fast enough which is the key differentiator for nats.
