NATS Monthly - July 2026

📣 News

News or announcements involving NATS.

Introducing the NATS Testing Framework! Synadia developed and released a new testing framework for application developers to leverage. The server is packaged and available on Docker Hub and the client SDKs will become gradually available in Orbit, the first one being orbit.go. Check it out and give us feedback on the experience!

Going to the Inductive Automation Conference? Synadia will be at ICC in Sacramento in September. If you run Ignition and you’re tired of duct-taping the plant-to-cloud path together, come talk to us! Verrus plugged NATS directly into their SCADA system and runs their whole data center backbone on it.

• Marcello Salvati was glad to see NATS ship a native protocol for AI agents (back in June) after hand-rolling the same pattern himself in Figaro.
• Cristhian Ferrufino shows how a Nuxt app can stop calling AI agents and become one on the bus with the 0.1.0-alpha.4 release of Nuxt-NATS.
• Bartosz Pachołek built “The Nut Exchange”, a live price ticker with no Postgres, no Redis and no WebSocket server. NATS does all three jobs, with Symfony Messenger leveraging JetStream.
