Interview Derek Collison from Synadia about NATS and NGS

dwaynebradley commented 5 years ago

You should try to interview Derek Collison about NATS, his company Synadia and the NGS system that they have built to connect everything.

Just as a little additional background:

Derek has a long history in the messaging space. He has worked at TIBCO, Google, VMWare, Ericcson and more.
He wrote NATS because he wanted it.
He is also very opinionated about all of the complicated/layered "stuff" that has been built just to connect things up currently (i.e. Istio/Envoy/Linkerd, gRPC, etc.) and feel that NATS is a much simpler way of doing it. You should definitely ask him about it!
NGS is their way of generating revenue with NATS which is OSS.
NATS is also an incubating project at the CNCF. Actually it is the only "messaging" project currently at the CNCF.

Thanks for the suggestion, I like this idea. Not sure if Derek would be better for The Changelog or for Founders Talk. What do you think, @adamstac?
