Give your Go app superpowers with an Embedded NATS Server

One powerful, but lesser known feature of the NATS server is that, if you are using the Go programming language, you can embed the NATS server directly into your application. Not only can you bake a NATS server directly into your application binary, but you can even connect to that NATS server without going through a network interface, making NATS an awesome choice for building modular monoliths, or for simply the foundation for any programs connectivity, or a data layer with lots of options for storing and moving that data.
