NATS Streaming Server (STAN) is a lightweight, high-performance reliable streaming platform built on top of the NATS messaging system, providing persistent pub/sub with at-least-once delivery. It is officially deprecated in favor of NATS JetStream, with only critical bug and security fixes applied.
Use cases
- run a persistent message queue on top of NATS
- stream events between microservices with guaranteed delivery
- replace legacy STAN deployments or migrate them to JetStream
- self-host a lightweight pub/sub streaming server
- buffer and replay messages for event-driven architectures
When to choose
- you maintain an existing NATS Streaming deployment and need the final supported releases
- you need a minimal, single-binary streaming layer for a legacy NATS-based system
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - use NATS JetStream instead
- you need long-term support or new features, since the project is deprecated
- you need modern persistence, exactly-once semantics, or KV/object storage built into messaging
