EP07: Going off piste; KV patterns with NATS.io (pt1)

Tomasz Pietrek, Maurice van Veen and David Gee kick off season 3 and we're off the blocks with a back to basics episode! We chat core NATS, the basics of a connection and the pub-sub turtles (all the way down)! Season 2 was spectacularly short (one episode) and so let's kick off S3 for 2025 with this early December special! Enjoy.

Welcome to season two of NATS.fm! We start off this season by talking about Synadia's RethinkConn 2024 and the excitement around some of the new up and coming NATS Execution Engine, Synadia Cloud, the NATS ambassador programme and more!

NATS provides incredibly powerful usage patterns and one of the most fundamental is streams and consumers. This pairing is a super power and can solve many challenges in the most simplest way. We cover the bare fundamentals of NATS streams and how to consume data from them with some model use cases to help the exploration. Want to feel more confident about how to embrace data streams? Take a listen as we go back to basics. --- If you like this video, be sure to hit like and subscribe! Want to suggest a topic?

From self-driving cars, to intelligent toasters, this resurgence of artificial intelligence is here to stay. In this episode, we talk about how NATS.io could be the perfect system to connect your AI, ML and DL systems to your business software from the tiniest of systems and machines, across the edge(s) and back to the data center. --- If you like this video, be sure to hit like and subscribe!

Now that we have v2.10 of the nats-server released, it's time to discuss what we can do with NATS. We start by discussing patterns that we can easily achieve with the KV store.

It's here!!! Server 2.10 of the nats-server has been released, and with it, a whole swathe of new features and capabilities. Byron sits down with Neil Twigg and Tomasz Pietrek to talk about what's new and their journey with the nats-server and clients from 2.9 to 2.10. Want to suggest a topic?

Welcome to episode 5 and our first episode with a special guest! Byron & Dave chat with Tomasz Pietrek, the NATS client team lead engineer on the powerful client libraries. We dig in to JetStream simplification, the KV & Object Store and the Micro Services API. Buckle in for our longest episode yet! Want to suggest a topic?

Welcome to episode 4, the last chat about service meshes (for now)! In EP03, David got stuck, rambling about service and function chaining and Byron gives him a chance to redeem himself and explain properly. The outcome is a hugely simplified approach to service mesh deployment and the narrowing of technical complexity and an increase in capabilities. We go through the most popular features that you're likely to deploy and how using NATS.io, Byron would approach the requirements. Want to suggest a topic?

Welcome to episode 3! Byron & David talk HTTP, the developer power hammer. They hint at breaking apart the synchronous nature of the web and discuss how with NATS, you can extend communication capabilities north to south, east to west and also provide a foundation for function-chaining. Dream of a world without HTTP? This might be of interest. Want to suggest a topic?

Join Byron Ruth and David Gee as they discuss moving from monoliths to modular monoliths with NATS.io. This sideways move also paves the way for microservices and service meshes (look out for EP03 and EP04!). NATS has many capabilities to help you move from rigid architectures, to polyglot friendly and horizontally distributable super powers and we touch the basics in EP02. Want to suggest a topic?
