NATS: Ultra-low Latency and Messaging Distributed System Used by Naver Interviewers

When you're doing backend development, at some point you face this dilemma. As services grow and traffic increases, there comes a moment when simple REST communication and CRUD structures feel limiting. I experienced the same problem in real-world work and went through many trials and errors between performance and structural complexity. The solution I chose in that process was NATS. Its simple configuration based on a single binary, ultra-low latency performance in microseconds, and the fact that it provides just the right amount of essential features for real work—from Pub/Sub to Queue Groups and JetStream—made it a very practical choice in actual service environments. This course is not about listing NATS features. Based on the problems I faced in real work, I explain with code and flow diagrams which situations led me to choose NATS, why, and how I designed the architecture. This is a course designed to help everyone—from those new to messaging systems, to backend developers preparing for jobs, to senior developers contemplating better architectures—understand distributed systems and grow to the next level.

I'm developing at Naver, which created this course, and it's called Ande!! NATS... It might be unfamiliar to you all, but it's truly an excellent platform with an incredibly useful structure. I personally use it frequently and actively utilize it in production environments as well. I've tried my best to share the parts I've experienced and know about, so I hope you enjoy it and please provide lots of feedback. Have a great day!!

I found your other lectures very helpful, and this one was extremely beneficial as well. Please continue to create great lectures in the future ㅠㅠ I'll take care of the payment... Your lecture quality keeps improving (though it's already excellent now...!!), and it seems like you only create lectures that are absolutely worth the money... ㅠㅠ I'm so grateful that you cover topics like this at this price point.

What you will gain after the course

  • The ability to directly design and implement ultra-low latency messaging architecture based on NATS

  • The design capability to select and apply Pub/Sub, Request-Reply, and Queue Group appropriately based on the situation

  • Experience Building a Stable Distributed Messaging Architecture Considering Consumer Lag and Bottlenecks

  • Implementing Message Persistence and Production-Grade Event Processing Pipelines with JetStream

  • Backend capability to explain and design event-driven distributed systems beyond CRUD

Distributed messaging system for ultra-low latency in MSA environments!! A newly joined Naver developer tells you about it.

  • The content below is from an actual conversation.

😄 Naver Developer : Does anyone know about NATS, the MSQ? I mainly use it, so I'm thinking of filming on that topic

😁 Kakao Developer (Interviewer) : Oh, I've used that before. I know that when used at the Core level, it can achieve performance down to microseconds.

😄 Naver Developer : Right. But realistically, we don't use it at the Core level, and mostly use it in JetStream form for HA. I think it's very useful for implementing and introducing a simple MSQ.

😄 Naver Developer : I ended up joining like this, and I think creating something focused on performance aspects like this would be very helpful to those who see it.

😄 Hong : Oh my, such a distinguished guest in this humble place... I've only heard of NATS but never actually used it, so if you guide me, I'll work hard to create it.

😄 Naver Developer : LOL Thank you for giving me a good opportunity LOL

😁 Toss Developer : I've been busy lately.. I'd like to build something new someday too. I heard NATS is really good, and routing is very easy and dynamic

😁 Kakao Interviewer (Developer) : X (Naver developer) is really good at development In my opinion, they're at a free pass level lol I'm happy they're joining us like this

How do you implement service communication in distributed architecture?? ⚡

In an environment where numerous services are connected around data, we need to go beyond simple CRUD and build event-driven dynamic architectures that create loose coupling between services.Each time, we face these concerns. Most of you will probably have these worries: How do we guarantee performance?? How do we consider dynamic communication and Auto Scaling?? How do we manage Consumer Lag issues? And what are Dead Letter Queues?

The answer to that is right here in this course. How to connect multiple services based on Subjects!! Along with that, how to implement ultra-low latency real-time communication, how to prevent Consumer Lag using HA perspective and Queue Groups, and more - through this course that is highly focused on performance, we've prepared everything so you can achieve safety and optimization for your MSA architecture services.

This is not a lecture that simply covers theory. I hope you will take the time to learn how to directly use and implement the NATS platform through various actual source codes. 🚀

Why NATS Platform

NATS is a messaging platform that provides ultra-low latency and high performance.

Through the Single Platform feature, it provides Streaming, Key-Value, Object store, PubSub, and due to the Microservices characteristic, it can be easily and quickly applied in distributed environments. In other words, it's distributed and has the characteristic of zero-trust security. Additionally, it includes the Multi-cloud to Edge feature, allowing all applications and data to be provided in an on-premises format regardless of physical location., bạn có thể nhận được tất cả ứng dụng và dữ liệu dưới dạng on-premise bất kể vị trí vật lý.

NATS introduces itself this way in its official documentation.

NATS is a simple, secure and high performance open source data layer for cloud native applications, IoT messaging, and microservices architectures. All of this in a single binary that is easy to deploy and manage. No external dependencies, just drop it in and add a configuration file to point to other NATS servers and you are ready to go. In fact, you can even embed NATS in your application

( NATS is a simple, secure, and high-performance open source data layer for cloud-native applications, IoT messaging, and microservices architectures. It provides various features, all delivered in a single binary format that is easy to deploy and manage. Therefore, naturally without external dependencies, you can simply deploy the binary and configure it to point to other NATS servers to start using it immediately. Additionally, it's possible to embed NATS directly within your application. All features are provided in a single binary that is easy to deploy and manage.)

In modern architectures, there is a structure where numerous communications occur between services. In such a structure, learning NATS, which offers a single binary, eliminates dependencies, is cloud-native, and thereby provides ultra-low latency and high-performance applications, becomes not a recommendation but a necessity.

I highly recommend taking this opportunity to learn how to utilize NATS and grow into a developer with a differentiated tech stack from others. 🚀

Key Features of This Course

📌 A distributed messaging protocol course used in practice by actual Naver developers

  • This course was created with the participation of a current developer working at Naver. Rather than simply explaining what MSA is, you can learn by building together a high-performance messaging service called NATS. Through this, we have prepared content that allows you to learn extensively with a focus on practical work.

📌 Lecture Summary, Source Code, and Various Message Routing Patterns

  • All lectures provide actual diagrams or broadly demonstrate the hands-on process. We don't just show you how to follow along, but teach you patterns that actually work and can be applied.


📌 A junior who knows this is a good junior... A senior who knows this is a capable senior - Distributed messaging protocol service for this

  • Do you only know CRUD?? In distributed architecture, it supports scalable communication based on EDA, not CRUD. NATS is a representative solution that can be introduced for this..!! This is unique content only available on Inflearn.

I recommend this for: 👨‍🏫

🎯 Beginner to intermediate developers who have only heard of Kafka for distributed messaging services chỉ từng nghe về Kafka trong các dịch vụ nhắn tin phân tán

  • There are so many different distributed messaging services. While messaging pipelines like Kafka exist, I highly recommend learning NATS, which is truly focused on performance in MSA architecture

🎯 Developers who don't know any messaging services and want to learn

  • I don't know anything about distributed messaging services This course is most suitable for you. As a server developer, to learn modern architecture, I recommend learning about loose coupling between services through this course.

🎯 Senior developers curious about the ecosystem of the NATS platform

  • Even developers with some experience often haven't heard of NATS before. That's exactly why I recommend it - you can acquire new technology that others don't know about yet.


🎯 Backend job seekers and junior developers interested in game servers, real-time communication, and chat applications

  • NATS has the most suitable form for inter-service communication due to its ultra-low latency and overwhelming performance. I recommend this to anyone curious about high-performance servers through microsecond-level low-latency communication.


The background of the Naver developer who prepared this course 🤭


I'm Ande (abbreviated), a backend server developer with 10 years of experience currently working at Naver.

I wanted to create this course to share and discuss the various technologies and stacks I know with others. I hope others can learn from my know-how and avoid making the same mistakes I did.

I joined through a referral from an acquaintance (a Kakao interviewer), and we filmed together under Hong's leadership. We tried our best to include as much content as possible, so please show a lot of interest. Also, please feel free to ask questions. I will do my best to check and respond to them. Thank you.
