async-nats is a Rust client library for the NATS cloud-native messaging system, built on Tokio. It supports Core NATS, JetStream, Key-Value and Object stores, and the Service API.
Use cases
- connect a Rust service to NATS for pub/sub messaging
- use JetStream durable streams from Rust
- build microservices communicating over NATS request/reply
- use NATS key-value store for distributed state
- store and retrieve blobs via NATS Object Store
- implement NATS microservices with the Service API
When to choose
- you're building Rust services on NATS or JetStream
- you need an async Tokio-based messaging client
- you want idiomatic Rust APIs with compile-time connection options
When to avoid
- you need a synchronous/blocking client
- you're not using NATS as your messaging system
- you need a 1.0-guaranteed stable API (still 0.x versioning)
