Consolidating onto a second proprietary broker trades an integration problem for a procurement problem. Here is the third option. - [Reliable Message Delivery in NATS JetStream: Acks, Retries, Dead Letters, and Replay](https://www.synadia.com/blog/jetstream-reliable-delivery-dlq-replay.md): Delivery guarantees in JetStream are a small set of primitives you compose, and the interesting part is what happens when a message fails. Here is the full lifecycle, with working Go, including how to build a dead-letter queue. - [Message Reliability Belongs in the Infrastructure, Not in Your Application Code](https://www.synadia.com/blog/message-reliability-infrastructure.md): Every retry loop, outbox table, and deduplication cache is a bug report against your messaging layer. Five questions tell you whether your infrastructure guarantees enough, and where the line between delivery and meaning should sit. - [The cost of the stitched stack: why AI stalls before it reaches the edge](https://www.synadia.com/blog/stitched-stack-tax.md): Five vendors, three protocols, and a pile of bespoke glue: that's how most enterprises move data between cloud and edge today. What the stitched stack really costs, and the five outcomes of replacing it with one connective layer. - [What a Unified Namespace Actually Requires](https://www.synadia.com/blog/what-a-unified-namespace-requires.md): A Unified Namespace is an architecture, not a product. Here's the plain-English definition, the five capabilities any UNS needs, and why choosing the system underneath it is the decision that determines whether it scales past one site. - [Partitioned Consumer Groups in NATS JetStream: Ordered, Scalable Processing](https://www.synadia.com/blog/partitioned-consumer-groups.md): Partitioned consumer groups give NATS JetStream Kafka-style per-key ordering that survives horizontal scaling — every message for a key is pinned to one worker while different keys run in parallel, packaged as static and elastic groups by the Orbit pcgroups library. - [How to Stream NATS Messages to ClickHouse in Real Time](https://www.synadia.com/blog/stream-nats-messages-to-clickhouse.md): ClickHouse ships a native NATS table engine, so teams already running NATS can land events directly in an analytical store.

If counters and key-value are why you run Redis, you can likely delete one system. - [Pull Consumer Priority Groups in NATS JetStream: Overflow, Pinned, and Prioritized Routing](https://www.synadia.com/blog/pull-consumer-priority-groups.md): Pull consumer priority groups let multiple clients pull from one JetStream consumer under a server-side policy — overflow, pinned_client, or prioritized — so the server, not luck, decides which waiting client gets each message. No leader election, no lock service, no coordination code. - [How to Design NATS Subject Hierarchies (Patterns, Pitfalls & Best Practices)](https://www.synadia.com/blog/designing-nats-subject-hierarchies.md): A practical guide to NATS subject design: the three core patterns, how to choose one, reserved prefixes, versioning trade-offs, and the mistakes that force painful migrations later. - [JetStream Anti-Patterns: Avoid these pitfalls to scale more efficiently](https://www.synadia.com/blog/jetstream-design-patterns-for-scale.md): Leverage JetStream strategically—and steering clear of inefficient usage patterns like abusing consumer info—so you can maintain high performance and stability in your NATS server. - [Why are NATS reconnects slow in Kubernetes?](https://www.synadia.com/blog/troubleshooting-nats-reconnect-delays-kubernetes.md): NATS reconnect delays in Kubernetes usually come from stale TCP detection, DNS, or unreachable advertised URLs—not reconnect wait. - [NVIDIA Built Its AI Factory Event Bus on NATS](https://www.synadia.com/blog/nvidia-built-its-ai-factory-event-bus-on-nats.md): NVIDIA DSX Exchange is built on NATS, using NATS server's MQTT 3.1.1 compatibility, JetStream, leaf nodes, and Auth Callout for AI factory operations. - [Should You Use NATS KV or Object Store for Many Small Objects?](https://www.synadia.com/blog/choosing-nats-kv-or-object-store-for-many-small-objects.md): For many small values read by many replicas, NATS KV often fits better than Object Store. Use Object Store for file-like blobs. - [How to Fetch a Small NATS KV Key Hierarchy Without a Watcher](https://www.synadia.com/blog/fetch-nats-kv-key-hierarchy-without-watcher.md): For one-off NATS KV prefix reads, use JetStream batched Direct Get against the KV backing stream instead of creating a watcher. - [How Should NATS Auth Callout Permissions Change Dynamically?](https://www.synadia.com/blog/changing-nats-permissions-dynamically-auth-callout.md): Compare reconnect-and-kick versus scoped signing keys for dynamic NATS auth callout permissions without losing JWT precision. - [Should You Run NATS on AWS Fargate?

If every client must process every message, use one consumer per client and coordinate completion explicitly. - [JetStream Scheduled Messages and Interest Retention](https://www.synadia.com/blog/jetstream-scheduled-messages-interest-retention.md): Scheduled messages can be used with JetStream Interest retention, but the retention policy still applies while the message is scheduled. In many cases, a Limits-based stream with TTL or MaxAge is the safer design. - [Handling JetStream WorkQueue Messages with No Consumer](https://www.synadia.com/blog/jetstream-workqueue-no-consumer-fallback.md): JetStream does not automatically move workqueue messages to a fallback consumer when no matching consumer exists. Choose retention semantics carefully, and add explicit cleanup or dead-letter handling where needed. - [NATS vs RabbitMQ: How to Choose the Right Messaging System](https://www.synadia.com/blog/nats-and-rabbitmq-compared.md): NATS and RabbitMQ both support distributed messaging, but they optimize for different goals.
