I evaluated a range of options and selected NATS for a project in Jan 2025, then spent every waking moment developing and launching this project over the last four months. Absolutely central to my choice of NATS was that it is a CNCF project. You see, I was badly burned a few years ago but what happened with RethinkDB, which I used for a similar purpose! I read substantial chunks of the NATS source code and contributed many small PR’s and suggestions back. Sometimes the devs were very welcoming and sometimes not. In fact, a few weeks ago I started this repo to document some contributions frustrations: https://github.com/williamstein/nats-bugs https://github.com/williamstein/nats-bugs Anyway this rug pull is extremely disappointing to me. It is especially sad because NATS is excellent technology, and no matter what their just shot themselves in the foot, and I had really really had hope for them to grow a lot in the next few years.
