NATS is a cloud-native messaging system designed to be lightweight and high-performance.
In this scenario, you'll learn how to start a NATS server and use it as a SUB/PUB message broker. The aim is to allow Microservices to communicate via NATS.
In this scenario we learned how to start the NATS Server, connect a client and use the protocol to SUB/PUB messages.
In future scenarios, we'll explore how to connect clients and use NATS Server within a Microservices architecture.
Visit http://nats.io/download/nats-io/gnatsd/ to download the NATS Server.
Don’t stop now! The next scenario will only take about 10 minutes to complete.
NATS Server is written in Go and available across multiple platforms. The server uses a text based protocol making it accessible to clients created in different languages.
The first step to launching NATS is to download the pre-built binary from Github.
The command below will download and unzip the binary onto the first host.
curl -OL https://github.com/nats-io/gnatsd/releases/download/v0.9.6/gnatsd-v0.9.6-linux-amd64.zip && unzip gnatsd-v0.9.6-linux-amd64.zip
