NATS data is ephemeral in many cases anyhow, so it makes a bit more sense here. If you wanted something fully durable with a stronger persistence story you'd probably use Kafka anyhow.

Core nats is ephemeral. Jetstream is meant to be persisted, and presented as a replacement for kafka

Dude ... the guy was testing JetStream.

Which, I quote from the first phrase from the first paragraph on the NATS website:

    NATS has a built-in persistence engine called JetStream which enables messages to be stored and replayed at a later time.

So is MQTT, why bother with NATS then?
