Painless Multi-Cloud to the Edge Powered by NATS & Kubernetes - Tomasz Pietrek & David Gee, Synadia

NATS is a powerful communication substrate technology that is loved by its adopters and consumers. Throughout the session, audience participation will be encouraged through connecting to a fun NATS & Kubernetes powered web application, in which audience members experience first-hand the power of hyper-connectedness. NATS is packed with hyper-connectivity capabilities and we will show the power of a real multi-cloud solution with leaf nodes and gateways to create a complex topology that extends all the way to the edge, even over conference Wifi. With the latest JetStream features, state based services such as key/value and persistent messaging are now available, reducing the component count for even the most complex applications. The combination of NATS features with Kubernetes results in hyperscale capabilities without a service mesh or complex overlay network and we hope to make it easy and fun for NATS to supercharge Kubernetes & K3s deployments and topologies.
