Sessions
In a world where stateless applications are optimized to run blazing fast, message exchanging cannot be allowed to affect their performance. Having the ability to publish more than 7 million of messages per second, NATS is the sprinter of the messaging queues.
Whereas benchmarks are good indicators for choosing a tool there is no way to confirm its value without monitoring its performance in production. In our team, we use EFK stack to monitor a bunch of microservices running on top of Kubernetes, since EFK tends to be the de facto way to monitor containerized microservices.
Everything started with a task: Ship NATS monitoring data to Elasticsearch. What we achieved: Extending Beats, the Elastic data shipper, with a NATS dedicated module.
Join us in this session to learn more about the journey, how to add value to a CNCF project and give back to the community.
PS. There will be a demo!
