Building for the edge
requires new tech
From connected cars and fleet management to smart manufacturing and real-time telemetry, edge devices and applications are transforming how we build distributed systems.
The old way
- Cumbersome discovery via HTTP/DNS
- Limited 1:1 communication
- Pull based semantics
- Perimeter based security models
- Routing via gateways, proxies, load balancers
- Centralized, location dependent backends
The new way
- Services can live anywhere and are easily discoverable
- Flexible M:N communication
- Push, pull, fan in/out
- Decentralized, zero trust security
- Intelligent routing without more infrastructure
- Bringing data closer to the user
Join our growing community
Thousands of developers are using NATS.io to build the future of distributed systems.
Join our Slack community"At Palo Alto Networks, we are always at the forefront of network innovation - especially for cloud native and edge. We are using NATS heavily across the Platform Engineering team, and love how it aligns with our vision."
Santhosh Kumar KuchoorEngineering Leader - Palo Alto Networks
"I’m excited that NATS provides a secure connection between our cloud and edge services where messages are just there…the leaf node topology is amazing because it allows our sites to operate independently even when networks go offline."
Ted LeePrincipal Software Engineer - PowerFlex
"At Shopmonkey we love the scalability and flexibility of NATS. Synadia's Managed NATS gives us the latency guarantee of our preferred cloud provider with the uptime guarantee of a managed service, and its multi-tenancy support allows us to easily separate workflows by customer. Synadia is our most valuable partner and we're so excited to continue growing with them."
Andrew KunzelDirector of Platform Engineering
"gRPC over Nats is an excellent combination, very simple, but scales out massively, doesn’t require service mesh, makes micro services comms like a cakewalk. Running our services more than a year now using nats as our major backbone, thanks @nats_io"
@arvchzSoftware Engineer
"NATS is an elegant and powerful connectivity technology. Its simple and understandable “atomic” concepts can be combined to address a wide range of use cases, including pub/sub, request/reply, APIs, streaming, and key-value storage. The only limit is your creativity. NATS is a technology for the future, simplifying and becoming the backbone of our tech stack. We believe it will give us an edge."

"HarperDB 4.0 is here! Thanks to @nats_io, it delivers greater stability, resilience, & scalability, making HarperDB the best planet-scale database for mission-critical use cases."

"A couple of days ago I discovered NATS and the great video content from @synadia. Can't believe this thing isn't just out there in everyones infra 🤯"

"What can make your cross-regional, cross-borders, global Laravel application instances more awesome than it already is? Easily in-sync instances with some quick @nats_io configuration!"
Kathryn Anne TanLaravel Specialist - Fly.io
"We agree at @cosmonic and are huge fans - @CloudNativeFdn @wasmCloud leverages @nats_io in the core to make building distributed systems easily."
Liam RandallCEO - Cosmonic
"I am bullish on @nats_io. Everything about NATS I read so far simply make sense, which to me is a pretty rare thing in today's tech world. It might finally be the Kafka at home that I can actually understand."
