Looks like @derekcollison.bsky.social took the responsible step to avert all-out war with the CNCF!

Shootout at the CNCF Corral | Oxide and Friends | Episode 15
Last week the kerfuffle between Synadia and CNCF, tussling over the ownership and futures of NATS, bled into the public. The outcome may cast a long shadow for open source and for the CNCF. Bryan and ...

On a connu l'affaire HashiCorp et son changement de licence, mais là ce que fait Synadia est vraiment d'un tout autre niveau. C'est vraiment dégueulasse et je pèse mes mots.
Don't miss this new #OpenSource drama (like it was not enough for us...):

This latest attempt to pull an # opensource project back to a semi-proprietary license is looking especially ugly.

This is a great example of the evolution of #NATSio implementations, from simple stateless use to JetStream persistence and work queues.

Thank you @systeminit.com for trusting NATS and Synadia 🥰
In our latest blog post, @fnichol.com talks about the usage of NATS in our system here at System Initiative and how we used @synadia.bsky.social to help us build out our production NATS cluster!

dragging your feet until you can do a 'legal' gotcha is not the winning strategy they had and we can rename the Streisand Effect the Synadia Effect for a few weeks

The Synadia post doesn’t really explore continuing to maintain NATS AP2 in CNCF, plus a Synadia commercial distribution (with support etc). Well, it sort of touches on it but implies this can only be done by heavily limiting features in the OSS version. But that model works for several projects
April 26, 2025 at 9:01 AM
Synadia has always been the driver behind nats. There isn't a pile of folks who aren't connected to Synadia who work on nats. There never has been. And if what that means is the software is open source, still improving, users get it for free, and the consortium benefits, A++

Any good references on this Synadia vs CNCF kerfuffle? I missed it so far.

A couple of data infrastructure companies that come to mind that seem chill and interesting and enjoyable to work for (not a complete list).

Follow their devs! Maybe work for them!

It looks like Synadia and Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) came to agreement on NATS future and it will stay in CNCF. Great win for #opensource

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation and Synadia dodged an ugly trademark fight over NATS.

For a minute there, it looked like we were in for an ugly, legal fight over control of the NATS messaging system. But Synadia has backed off, and all's well now.

My flight to #KubeCon got delayed so I’m at the airport waiting for the last redeye of the night to take off

Real bummer for the TSA people who would have gone home for the night already if it weren’t for this delay!
November 12, 2024 at 3:59 AM
No question. Just for clarity, I would not be doing what Synadia is doing. Linkerd showed you the way. They should've followed suit.
April 25, 2025 at 8:46 PM
Fantastic news for the #OpenSource community! NATS will stay in the #CNCF, and Synadia will keep contributing to it and will also transfer the related trademarks to the Linux Foundation. Happy to see such a positive outcome: www.cncf.io/announcement...

Why the Zig programming language matters, when to use it, and why correctness is a system design problem, not a language problem. Interesting thoughts from @joran.tigerbeetle.com.
