Show HN: BusterMQ, Thread-per-core NATS server in Zig with io_uring

Why use Basel instead of Zig build tools, as it’s all written in Zig anyway?

I did a similar thing few days back just not with NATS protocol (Made it pure websocket based), and with rust. Couple of questions:

- Where did you get the machine to test your server on?

- Why did you end up going with zig?

You should at least try and align the ascii flowchart in the readme on the repo.

One day Claude will do it correctly but today is not that day.

Upvote for Bazel. I think these days I place a lot more value on how well an ecosystem slots into Bazel/friends because monorepos are increasingly more useful and relevant.

So nice to see there are good rules for Zig and that folks are using them.

Also ironically I think starting with Bazel/Buck/whatever your poison of choice is almost always a good move even if people tell you it's overkill. The easiest time to do it as at the beginning, all times after that is too hard and the marginal cost of building with it from the start is minimal.

Comparison/benchmark to other alternatives?

Does it have a similar system to Jetstream? If yes, does it address the reliability issues Jetstream has been criticized about lately?

Wow! This entire project seem to be a big ball of AI slop.

Your daily dose of AI slop…

Happy new year 2026 everyone.

Edit: AI slop projets are more and more frequent on HN these days, but this one went as far as buying a domain name and vibe-coding a landing page, I wonder if it's just the usual resume-padding fake project or if there's something more nefarious behind it.

I really wish HN had an explicit policy against this kind of low-effort/scam-ish content.
