**What do you like best about NATS?**

It is lightweight and easy to implement. Provides a good level of abstraction on events processing. Have used it as the core messaging layer in our distributed microservices and it provides low latency even when scaling consumers.

For pubsub use cases, there are better tooling available in the market.

**What problems is NATS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Messaging layer between microservices and frontend. It supports different streaming patterns can scale out the cluster much easily.
