Enjoyed the conversation. Thanks for having me.
I learned so much about the history of @TIBCO, @VMware, @heroku, @cloudfoundry, & @nats_io from my @redmonk conversation with @derekcollison, founder and CEO of @synadia, creator of NATS, & "The Forrest Gump of messaging"

Very well said..
The classic software startup writes code to solve users' problems. If AI makes writing code more of a commodity, understanding users' problems will become the most important component of starting a startup. But it already is.

Excited to be a part of @thesysteminit system and work with @adamhjk and the fabulous team over there!
This is a great example of the evolution of #NATSio implementations, from simple stateless use to JetStream persistence and work queues. Thank you @thesysteminit for trusting @nats_io and Synadia 🥰

@synadia Cloud is getting better, and 2025 should see more impressive changes. Based on @nats_io , its the perfect price point for global, multi-geo, multi-cloud systems that need micro-services (without all of the additional moving pieces), Streaming, KeyValue stores with replication and transparent digital twins and Object Stores as well. We were encouraged to up the connection count for customers for fleet management and IOT use cases. So we 10x'd it but kept the same price!
