    Disclaimer: I work at the incident company

    This is one of those projects where the end goal is to build the scariest button possible. You cannot complete the project until you’ve pressed that button. You do all the work to build the button, then you have to press it.

    Never not scary, never not eventually fun, but type 2 fun for sure.

    NATS is such a cool piece of technology that deserves more hype than it gets

      Second for NATS.

      I've deployed Core NATS as few times now at scale, including within financial trading. It's been a dream to operate.

      I have limited experience with JetStream, but coming from Kafka and Rabbit MQ, it seemed nearly as featureful but also easier to maintain.

      Given their recentish argument with the CNCF[0] not sure how much I would trust it.

        But that's the company that build the thing, which has apparently been told off by the CNCF? Seems like for once the thing functioned as it was intended to function?
