## Useful for

- Deploy a message broker for data exchange between microservices
- Set up publish/subscribe or request/reply between services in a cluster
- Run NATS on an edge device to connect with the cloud

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-02 (UTC), 00:15–23:55: 20979 → 20988 stars (+9). This is the change over that interval.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
