If your application is doing request-reply it should use timeouts to handle any network or application failures. It is always a good idea to place a timeout on a requests and have code that deals with timeouts. When you are publishing an event or data stream, one way to ensure message delivery is to turn it into a request-reply with the concept of an acknowledgement message, or ACKs. In NATS an ACK can simply be an empty message, a message with no payload. -
