Wow! I have a stupid question - as I understand NATS works very well as a “message” pipe/bus. Anyway to get Redis type cache functionality as well ? Is it some

  JetStream (not NATS) has a built-in key/value store. Relevant thread (old, from 2023): https://github.com/nats-io/nats.go/discussions/1507 https://github.com/nats-io/nats.go/discussions/1507 someone did some benchmarks in 2025: nats bench kv put --size="128" --msgs 1000000 --storage file 1m3s → Pub stats: 15,656 msgs/sec ~ 1.91 MB/sec nats bench kv get --size="128" --msgs 1000000 59s → Sub stats: 16,720 msgs/sec ~ 2.04 MB/sec I have personally not used this though.

    Thank you! Jetstream looks useful. For a platform which is production our Redis costs are getting prohibitively high. I was on the look for alternatives and perhaps in the software reliability tool [0] I am buildin try out Jetstream. [0] https://github.com/bobinson/vulture https://github.com/bobinson/vulture

      Cool... "vulture" looks pretty good... especially more now-a-days. Thanks.. I also maintain these sites for npm related attacks (since there have been so many since past 1.5 years): 1.

      I’d also recommend looking at Swytch (docs.getswytch.com, particularly the economics page). Disclosure: I’m a founder.
