NATS Integration in Services¶

Background (A NATS server is running on “nats:4222”)¶

Given I have a NATS server running on “nats:4222”.

The service has access to the NATS client after startup¶

The service should be able to access the NATS client after startup. This enables service developers to use the NATS client to publish and subscribe to messages.

Given I have the basic service configuration

When I start the service

Then the service should connect to NATS

And the NATS connection API should be available to the service.

The developer disables the NATS integration¶

The developer may want to disable the NATS integration for testing purposes or because the service does not need NATS.

Given I have the basic service configuration

When I start the service without NATS

Then the service should not connect to NATS.
