NATS Streams and Services: From Zero to Hero

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

NATS is shown running as a lightweight single-binary messaging plane with a live nats.chat demo that uses websockets and on-the-fly dynamic credentials issued by a provisioning service. Deployment uses Kubernetes on DigitalOcean with Helm charts, external-dns and Let's Encrypt, and clients use the JS websocket library and string codec. Revocation is implemented by updating account JWTs via the NATS embedded account server so revoked credentials stop working immediately. The demo connects, chats, and revokes successfully.
