here's the potential I see here: NEX ascends to the level where developers use it to scaffold out apps/integrations the same way they often use docker or kubernetes. Those tools don't necessarily go away but in true NATS fashion : NEX makes the end to end distribution of it all a lot nicer. Faster, easier to manage, and with cloud or bare-metal on-premises compatibility for everything. I like!
First of all, fantastic presentation and even more impressive tool! I ran into this presentation because I was looking to build exactly this.... Turns out it's been made already! 🎉 Every minute I read through the documentation, I grow more in love with the tools y'all are building with NATS. Have you all thought about building some kind of HTTP gateway for the ObjectStore? So it can be treated somehow like IPFS? This is another potential tool I've been thinking of building for our own and likely to open source if we find the time to get around it. Thanks Synadia for all the hard work, you're making our software world a better place!
Fun stuff and great demo. This raises an immediate question: Aren't you essentially rebuilding Kubernetes? Ultimately, you need both a deployment layer and an orchestration layer to efficiently utilize your nodes. Have you considered building this feature on top of Kubernetes? For example, by implementing a controller that listens to NATS and orchestrates such workloads through a custom resource API. Or, even better, by utilizing the Knative Events API to connect with NATS :)
We believe NATS takes a fundamentally different approach to how things communication and connect with each other. NEX will be the driver for a higher level coordination layer but will be very different and lighter weight than kubernetes. Multi-region and edge compatible out of the box. So IMO its solving a very different use case
Such an amazing feature for NATS. Great job!
Very exciting, can't wait to dig in

We are working on an HTTP gateway with Synadia cloud that supports KV and ObjectStore

When will it be open sourced?
Yes!
@@virtuserable Apologies! Read it as "Will..." As far as "when".. VERY soon 😉
