[💡]: NATS base KV driver

Plugin

KV

I have an idea!

Is there a kv nats ? O don’t think there is.

nats has a kv system that we can tap into.

so then it will be one of the kv systems, just like Redis, etc.

why ?

Operational simplicity. Nats leaf node will allow local connection linking up the s Nats cluster / gateway.

Another option if we want multi version kv is for is to use kine with nats jetstream turned on: https://github.com/k3s-io/kine

The multi version options with nats driver are here: https://github.com/k3s-io/kine/blob/master/pkg/drivers/nats/nats.go

it can also either use it’s built in jetstream or an external one: https://github.com/k3s-io/kine/blob/master/pkg/drivers/nats/nats.go#L136

what do you think about this idea ?

Hey @gedw99 👋🏻
Do you mean this: https://docs.nats.io/using-nats/developer/develop_jetstream/kv ?

Hey @rustatian

yrs that’s the correct link. Sorry I did not add it.

Kine wraps that and has versioning . But does not have watching.

Watching might be needed ?

I'm not sure why to use kine but not the official NATS driver?
