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)
