1. Production Architecture: Exactly-Once Event Processing & Consumer Backpressure with Go and NATS JetStream

package messaging

import (
	"context"
	"time"
	"github.com/nats-io/nats.go/jetstream"
)

func EnsureOrderStream(ctx context.Context, js jetstream.JetStream) (jetstream.Stream, error) {
	return js.CreateOrUpdateStream(ctx, jetstream.StreamConfig{
		Name:       "ORDERS",
		Subjects:   []string{"orders.>"},
		Storage:    jetstream.FileStorage,
		Retention:  jetstream.WorkQueuePolicy,
		Duplicates: 10 * time.Minute,
	})
}

2. Core Architectural Advantages

• Deduplicated Event Publishing: Built-in Nats-Msg-Id window deduplication guarantees idempotent ingestion.
• 10x Lower Memory Footprint Than JVM Brokers: Single binary Go + NATS JetStream deployment with sub-millisecond message fanout.
• Pull-Based Consumer Backpressure: Preventing downstream PostgreSQL or AI worker overload during flash traffic spikes.
