The NATS Stack - Libraries Extensions and the Execution Engine

on YouTube ↗35m

" summary

NATS announces NATS 2.11 features (per-message TTL, consumer pause/impose, batch direct get) plus client-side Orbit extensions for request-many scatter/gather; the Execution Engine runs workloads (container and JS) on top of the server, using streams/KV/object store for persistence and subject-level account rules for multi-tenancy. Demo deploys a counter workload, shows config-based access controls preventing cross-account visibility, and an AI-at-edge pipeline spanning three clouds; Orbit removes custom race-prone loops and simplifies request tracing.
