+# RabbitMQ to NATS Migration Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes the migration from RabbitMQ (AMQP) to NATS for the Wire server messaging infrastructure.
+
+## Why NATS?
+
+NATS is a lightweight, high-performance messaging system that offers:
+- Simpler operational model
+- Better performance for request-reply patterns
+- Native cloud-native deployment support
+- Built-in JetStream for persistence when needed
+- Lower resource footprint
+
+## Architecture Changes
+
+### Message Semantics
+
+| Feature | RabbitMQ | NATS |
+|---------|----------|------|
+| Delivery | Persistent queues | Ephemeral (JetStream for persistence) |
+| Acknowledgment | Built-in ACK/NACK | JetStream ACK |
+| Routing | Exchange + Queue bindings | Subject-based |
+| Dead Letter Queue | Built-in | JetStream consumers |
+
+### Subject Naming Convention
+
+NATS uses subject-based routing instead of exchanges and queues. The migration uses the following convention:
+
+- User notifications: `user.notifications.{userId}.{clientId}`
+- Backend notifications: `backend.notifications.{domain}`
+- Cells events: `cells.events`
+- Temporary clients: `user.notifications.{userId}.temp`
+
+### Connection Management
+
+The NATS client implementation provides:
+- Automatic reconnection with exponential backoff
+- Connection pooling (similar to RabbitMQ channels)
+- Lifecycle hooks for connection management
+
+## Implementation Status
+
+### Completed
+- [x] Basic NATS client implementation (`libs/extended/src/Network/NATS/Client.hs`)
+- [x] AMQP compatibility layer (`libs/extended/src/Network/NATS/Extended.hs`)
+- [x] Docker Compose configuration updated
+
+### In Progress
+- [ ] Service migrations (gundeck, cannon, background-worker, brig, galley)
+- [ ] Helm chart updates
+- [ ] Nix build configuration
+- [ ] Integration tests
+- [ ] Performance testing
+
+### Pending
+- [ ] JetStream integration for persistent queues
+- [ ] NATS admin client (replacing RabbitMqAdmin)
+- [ ] Migration tooling
+- [ ] Monitoring and metrics
+- [ ] Production deployment strategy
+
+## Current Limitations
+
+The initial NATS client implementation has several limitations:
+
+1. **Basic Protocol**: Implements core NATS protocol only, not JetStream
+2. **No Persistence**: Messages are ephemeral by default
+3. **Simple Authentication**: Username/password only
+4. **No TLS**: TLS support needs to be added
+5. **No Clustering**: Single server connection only
+
+These limitations will be addressed in subsequent phases.
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+### Phase 1: Foundation (Current)
+Create basic NATS client and compatibility layer.
+
+### Phase 2: Service Migration
+Migrate each service individually:
+1. gundeck (push notifications)
+2. cannon (websocket)
+3. background-worker (federation)
+4. brig (user events)
+5. galley (conversation events)
+
+### Phase 3: Enhanced Features
+- Add JetStream support
+- Implement TLS
+- Add clustering support
+- Improve error handling
+
+### Phase 4: Production Deployment
+- Performance testing
+- Load testing
+- Gradual rollout
+- Monitoring
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# NATS connection (replaces RABBITMQ_* vars)
+export NATS_USERNAME=guest
+export NATS_PASSWORD=guest
+```
+
+### Service Configuration
+
+Services need to be updated with NATS configuration instead of RabbitMQ:
+
+```yaml
+# Old (RabbitMQ)
+rabbitmq:
+  host: localhost
+  port: 5672
+  vHost: /
+
+# New (NATS)
+nats:
+  host: localhost
+  port: 4222
+  namespace: ""  # Optional subject prefix
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Local Development
+
+```bash
+# Start NATS using docker-compose
+cd deploy/dockerephemeral
+docker-compose up nats
+
+# NATS will be available at:
+# - Client port: 4222
+# - Monitoring: http://localhost:8222
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+Integration tests need to be updated to:
+1. Use NATS instead of RabbitMQ
+2. Update queue assertions
+3. Handle NATS-specific behavior
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+During the migration, the system can be rolled back by:
+1. Reverting service deployments
+2. Switching back to RabbitMQ in configuration
+3. Ensuring data loss is acceptable (messages in flight will be lost)
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+NATS generally offers:
+- Lower latency than RabbitMQ
+- Higher throughput
+- Lower memory footprint
+- Better CPU efficiency
+
+However, specific benchmarks should be conducted for the Wire use case.
+
+## Monitoring
+
+Key metrics to monitor:
+- Connection status
+- Message throughput
+- Message latency
+- Error rates
+- Connection pool utilization
+
+## Support and Documentation
+
+- [NATS Documentation](https://docs.nats.io/)
+- [NATS Protocol](https://docs.nats.io/reference/reference-protocols/nats-protocol)
+- [JetStream](https://docs.nats.io/nats-concepts/jetstream)
+
+## Contributing

+## Configure Messaging (NATS)
+
+**Note:** Wire server is migrating from RabbitMQ to NATS. This section documents the new NATS configuration.
+
+NATS authentication must be configured on brig, galley, gundeck, cannon, and background-worker. For example:
+
+```yaml
+nats:
+  host: localhost
+  port: 4222
+  namespace: ""  # Optional subject prefix
+  adminHost: localhost
+  adminPort: 8222 # for background-worker
+```
+
+The `adminHost` and `adminPort` settings are only needed by background-worker for monitoring.
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+NATS credentials are read from environment variables:
+
+```bash
+export NATS_USERNAME=guest
+export NATS_PASSWORD=guest
+```
+
+### Migration from RabbitMQ
+
+If you are migrating from RabbitMQ, note the following changes:
+
+1. **Subject-based routing**: NATS uses subjects instead of exchanges/queues
+2. **No vHost**: NATS uses a `namespace` prefix instead
+3. **Simpler configuration**: Fewer options needed
+4. **Different port**: Default is 4222 instead of 5672
+
 ## Configure RabbitMQ
 
 RabbitMQ authentication must be configured on brig, galley and background-worker. For example:

+# NATS Migration Status
+
+## Overview
+
+This document tracks the progress of migrating Wire server from RabbitMQ (AMQP) to NATS messaging system.
+
+## Current Status: Phase 1 - Foundation ✅
+
+### What's Completed
+
+1. **NATS Client Library** (`libs/extended/src/Network/NATS/Client.hs`)
+   - Basic NATS protocol implementation
+   - Connection management
+   - Publish/Subscribe functionality
+   - Message handling infrastructure
+
+2. **AMQP Compatibility Layer** (`libs/extended/src/Network/NATS/Extended.hs`)
+   - Interface compatible with existing `Network.AMQP.Extended`
+   - Connection retry logic
+   - Lifecycle hooks for connection management
+   - Credentials from environment variables
+
+3. **Docker Infrastructure**
+   - `docker-compose.yaml` updated to use NATS instead of RabbitMQ
+   - NATS 2.10 with JetStream enabled
+   - Monitoring interface on port 8222
+
+4. **Documentation**
+   - Migration guide: `docs/rabbitmq-to-nats-migration.md`
+   - Configuration options updated
+   - Environment variable documentation
+
+## What's NOT Done Yet
+
+### ⚠️ Important: Services Have NOT Been Migrated
+
+The following services still use RabbitMQ and need migration in future PRs:
+
+- [ ] **gundeck** - Push notification service
+- [ ] **cannon** - WebSocket connection service  
+- [ ] **background-worker** - Federation notification processor
+- [ ] **brig** - User management service
+- [ ] **galley** - Conversation service
+
+### Missing Features
+
+The current NATS implementation lacks:
+
+- [ ] JetStream support (for persistent queues)
+- [ ] TLS/SSL connections
+- [ ] NATS clustering support
+- [ ] Admin/management API client
+- [ ] Comprehensive error handling
+- [ ] Performance optimizations
+- [ ] Integration tests
+
+### Infrastructure Updates Needed
+
+- [ ] Helm charts (all services)
+- [ ] Nix build configuration
+- [ ] CI/CD pipeline updates
+- [ ] Integration test infrastructure
+- [ ] Monitoring and metrics setup
+
+## Building and Testing
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+The NATS client requires these Haskell packages:
+- `network` - Network sockets
+- `random` - Random number generation
+- `aeson` - JSON parsing
+- `bytestring` - Byte string operations
+- `containers` - Map/Set data structures
+
+### Local Testing
+
+Start NATS server:
+```bash
+cd deploy/dockerephemeral
+export NATS_USERNAME=guest
+export NATS_PASSWORD=guest
+docker-compose up nats
+```
+
+NATS endpoints:
+- Client: `localhost:4222`
+- Monitoring: `http://localhost:8222`
+- Health: `http://localhost:8222/healthz`
+
+### Compilation
+
+The NATS modules are added to `libs/extended/extended.cabal`:
+```
+exposed-modules:
+    Network.NATS.Client
+    Network.NATS.Extended
+```
+
+Build the extended library:
+```bash
+cabal build extended
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+### Phase 2: Service Migration (Estimated: 4-6 weeks)
+
+Migrate services one at a time:
+
+1. **Start with Background Worker** (simplest)
+   - Single consumer pattern
+   - Well-defined queue structure
+   - Good test case for approach
+
+2. **Then Gundeck** (moderate complexity)
+   - Publishing side mostly
+   - Well-isolated
+
+3. **Then Cannon** (most complex)
+   - Per-client queue creation
+   - Complex connection pooling
+   - Critical path for notifications
+
+4. **Finally Brig and Galley**
+   - Event publishing
+   - Less complex than Cannon
+
+### Phase 3: Enhanced Features (Estimated: 2-3 weeks)
+
+- Add JetStream for persistence
+- Implement TLS support
+- Add clustering capabilities
+- Build admin API client
+- Improve error handling
+
+### Phase 4: Infrastructure (Estimated: 2 weeks)
+
+- Update all Helm charts
+- Update Nix configurations
+- Migrate test infrastructure
+- Update CI/CD pipelines
+
+### Phase 5: Production Readiness (Estimated: 2-3 weeks)
+
+- Performance testing
+- Load testing
+- Security review
+- Monitoring setup
+- Migration strategy
+- Rollback procedures
+
+## Risks and Mitigation
+
+### Risk: Service Compatibility
+
+**Mitigation:** 
+- Compatibility layer maintains similar interface
+- Gradual service-by-service migration
+- Ability to run both systems temporarily
+
+### Risk: Message Delivery Semantics
+
+**Problem:** NATS and RabbitMQ have different message delivery guarantees
+
+**Mitigation:**
+- Use JetStream for persistence needs
+- Document semantic differences
+- Update application logic as needed
+
+### Risk: Performance Under Load
+
+**Mitigation:**
+- Benchmark early and often
+- Use NATS best practices
+- Monitor performance metrics
+
+### Risk: Operational Complexity
+
+**Mitigation:**
+- Comprehensive documentation
+- Training for ops team
+- Gradual rollout strategy
+
+## Decision Log
+
+### Why NATS?
+
+1. **Simpler Operations**: Less infrastructure complexity than RabbitMQ
+2. **Better Performance**: Lower latency, higher throughput
+3. **Cloud Native**: Better fit for Kubernetes deployments
+4. **Lower Resource Usage**: Smaller memory and CPU footprint
+5. **Built-in Clustering**: Simpler to scale horizontally
+
+### Why Not Keep RabbitMQ?
+
+1. Operational overhead
+2. Complex message routing not fully utilized
+3. Resource intensive
+4. Scaling challenges in Kubernetes
+
+## Timeline
+
+- **Phase 1 (Foundation)**: ✅ Complete
+- **Phase 2 (Services)**: Not started - Estimated 4-6 weeks
+- **Phase 3 (Features)**: Not started - Estimated 2-3 weeks
+- **Phase 4 (Infrastructure)**: Not started - Estimated 2 weeks
+- **Phase 5 (Production)**: Not started - Estimated 2-3 weeks
+
+**Total Estimated Time: 10-14 weeks** with a dedicated team
+
+## Getting Help
+
+- Review `docs/rabbitmq-to-nats-migration.md` for detailed migration guide
+- Check NATS documentation: https://docs.nats.io/
+- Review NATS protocol: https://docs.nats.io/reference/reference-protocols/nats-protocol
+
+## Contributing

+# RabbitMQ to NATS Migration - Quick Start
+
+## 🎯 What's in This PR
+
+This PR provides the **foundation** for migrating Wire server from RabbitMQ to NATS. It includes:
+
+1. **NATS Client Library** - Core implementation for NATS messaging
+2. **Infrastructure Updates** - Docker Compose with NATS instead of RabbitMQ
+3. **Documentation** - Comprehensive guides and checklists
+4. **Testing Tools** - Scripts to validate NATS connectivity
+
+## ⚠️ Important: Services Not Yet Migrated
+
+**All Wire services still use RabbitMQ.** This PR only provides the foundation. Service migration is planned for future PRs.
+
+## 📁 Key Files
+
+| File | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `NATS_MIGRATION_STATUS.md` | Current migration status and what's completed |
+| `docs/rabbitmq-to-nats-migration.md` | Detailed migration guide with architecture info |
+| `docs/nats-migration-checklist.md` | Step-by-step checklist for migrating each service |
+| `docs/nats-config-example.yaml` | Configuration examples for NATS |
+| `libs/extended/src/Network/NATS/Client.hs` | NATS client implementation |
+| `libs/extended/src/Network/NATS/Extended.hs` | AMQP compatibility layer |
+| `hack/bin/test-nats-connection.sh` | NATS connectivity test script |
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### 1. Start NATS Server
+
+```bash
+cd deploy/dockerephemeral
+export NATS_USERNAME=guest
+export NATS_PASSWORD=guest
+docker-compose up nats
+```
+
+### 2. Test Connection
+
+```bash
+./hack/bin/test-nats-connection.sh
+```
+
+### 3. Access NATS Monitoring
+
+Open http://localhost:8222 in your browser to see:
+- Server status
+- Connection stats
+- Message throughput
+- Health checks
+
+## 📚 Documentation
+
+### For Understanding the Migration
+
+1. **Start here**: [`NATS_MIGRATION_STATUS.md`](NATS_MIGRATION_STATUS.md)
+   - What's done, what's not
+   - Current limitations
+   - Timeline estimates
+
+2. **Deep dive**: [`docs/rabbitmq-to-nats-migration.md`](docs/rabbitmq-to-nats-migration.md)
+   - Why NATS?
+   - Architecture changes
+   - Subject naming conventions
+   - Testing strategies
+
+### For Implementing the Migration
+
+3. **Step-by-step**: [`docs/nats-migration-checklist.md`](docs/nats-migration-checklist.md)
+   - Detailed checklist for each service
+   - Pre-migration tasks
+   - Testing procedures
+   - Sign-off requirements
+
+4. **Configuration**: [`docs/nats-config-example.yaml`](docs/nats-config-example.yaml)
+   - Service configuration examples
+   - Kubernetes/Helm values
+   - Environment variables
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture
+
+### Before (RabbitMQ)
+```
+[Service] --AMQP--> [RabbitMQ Exchange] --> [Queue] --> [Consumer]
+```
+
+### After (NATS)
+```
+[Service] --NATS--> [Subject: user.notifications.{userId}] --> [Subscriber]
+```
+
+### Key Differences
+
+| Aspect | RabbitMQ | NATS |
+|--------|----------|------|
+| Routing | Exchange + Queue | Subject-based |
+| Persistence | Built-in | JetStream (future) |
+| Complexity | High | Low |
+| Performance | Moderate | High |
+| Operations | Complex | Simple |
+
+## 🔄 Migration Phases
+
+### ✅ Phase 1: Foundation (Current PR)

+open http://localhost:8222
+```
+
+### NATS CLI (optional)
+
+```bash
+# Install NATS CLI (if available)
+# Mac: brew install nats-io/nats-tools/nats
+# Linux: Download from https://github.com/nats-io/natscli
+
+# Subscribe to a test subject
+nats sub "test.subject"
+
+# Publish to a test subject
+nats pub "test.subject" "Hello NATS"
+```
+
+## 📊 Current Status
+
+```

+Overall:       ████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░  20%
+```
+
+## 🎯 Next Steps
+
+1. **Review this PR**
+   - Check NATS client implementation
+   - Review documentation
+   - Test NATS connectivity
+
+2. **Plan Phase 2**
+   - Assign developers to service migration
+   - Set up development environments
+   - Schedule sprint planning
+
+3. **Start Migration**
+   - Follow `docs/nats-migration-checklist.md`
+   - Begin with background-worker (simplest)
+   - Iterate and improve
+
+## ⚙️ Configuration Changes
+
+### Environment Variables (New)
+
+```bash
+export NATS_USERNAME=guest
+export NATS_PASSWORD=guest
+export NATS_HOST=localhost
+export NATS_PORT=4222
+```
+
+### Service Configuration (Future)
+
+When services are migrated, configuration will change from:
+
+```yaml
+# Old
+rabbitmq:
+  host: localhost
+  port: 5672
+  vHost: /
+```
+
+To:
+
+```yaml
+# New
+nats:
+  host: localhost
+  port: 4222
+  namespace: "wire"
+```
+
+## 🐛 Known Limitations
+
+1. **No JetStream**: Current implementation uses basic NATS (ephemeral)
+2. **No TLS**: TLS support planned for Phase 3
+3. **No Clustering**: Single NATS server only
+4. **Basic Auth**: Username/password only
+5. **Services Not Migrated**: All services still use RabbitMQ
+
+## 📞 Support
+
+### Questions?
+
+1. Check the documentation:
+   - `NATS_MIGRATION_STATUS.md` - Current status
+   - `docs/rabbitmq-to-nats-migration.md` - Detailed guide
+   - `docs/nats-migration-checklist.md` - Step-by-step checklist
+
+2. NATS Resources:
+   - [NATS Documentation](https://docs.nats.io/)
+   - [NATS Protocol](https://docs.nats.io/reference/reference-protocols/nats-protocol)
+   - [JetStream](https://docs.nats.io/nats-concepts/jetstream)
+
+3. Contact:
+   - Open an issue in the repository
+   - Contact the backend team
+
+## 🔒 Security Notes
+
+- Default credentials (`guest/guest`) are for development only
+- Production should use:
+  - Strong passwords from secrets management
+  - TLS encryption (Phase 3)
+  - Network policies
+  - Authentication tokens
+
+## 📈 Performance
+
+NATS generally offers:
+- **Lower latency** than RabbitMQ
+- **Higher throughput**
+- **Lower memory footprint**
+- **Better CPU efficiency**
+
+Specific benchmarks will be conducted in Phase 5.
+
+## 🚨 Rollback
+
+If issues arise:
+1. Keep RabbitMQ infrastructure during transition
+2. Services can be rolled back individually
+3. Configuration can revert to RabbitMQ
+4. Messages in flight may be lost (plan accordingly)
+
+## ✅ Sign-Off
+
+This PR should be reviewed by:
+- [ ] Backend team lead
+- [ ] Service owners
+- [ ] Operations team
+- [ ] Architecture team
+
+## 🎉 Conclusion
+
+This PR provides a solid foundation for the NATS migration. While services aren't yet migrated, all the infrastructure and documentation is in place to begin the migration process systematically and safely.
+
+The migration is estimated to take **10-14 weeks** with a dedicated team, and this foundation represents the first **1-2 weeks** of work.
+
+Let's build something great! 🚀

Subject: [PATCH 05/10] Replace RabbitMQ with NATS in Options and basic
 infrastructure

- Updated all service Options modules to use NatsEndpoint instead of AmqpEndpoint
- Replaced rabbitmq field with nats in gundeck, brig, galley, cannon, background-worker
- Updated imports from Network.AMQP.Extended to Network.NATS.Extended
- Added demoteNatsOpts function to NATS.Extended for compatibility
- Updated Env initialization in services to use mkNatsChannelMVar
- Updated configuration parsing to use "nats" instead of "rabbitmq"

Note: This changes the Options and infrastructure layer. Implementation modules
(BackendNotificationPusher, DeadUserNotificationWatcher, Cannon.RabbitMq, etc.)
still need to be updated to use NATS protocol instead of AMQP protocol.

Subject: [PATCH 06/10] Update gundeck to use NATS, remove migration docs

- Updated Gundeck.Monad: getRabbitMqChan -> getNatsChan
- Updated Gundeck.Push: publishToRabbitMq -> publishToNats, mkMessage uses NatsMessage
- Updated Gundeck.Client: setupConsumableNotifications uses NATS channel
- Updated Gundeck.Run: removed RabbitMQ exchange/queue declarations (not needed in NATS)
- Removed migration documentation files (README_NATS_MIGRATION.md, NATS_MIGRATION_STATUS.md, etc.)
- All imports changed from Network.AMQP to Network.NATS.Client

Still TODO: cannon, brig, galley, background-worker implementation modules

-# NATS Migration Status
-
-## Overview
-
-This document tracks the progress of migrating Wire server from RabbitMQ (AMQP) to NATS messaging system.
-
-## Current Status: Phase 1 - Foundation ✅
-
-### What's Completed
-
-1. **NATS Client Library** (`libs/extended/src/Network/NATS/Client.hs`)
-   - Basic NATS protocol implementation
-   - Connection management
-   - Publish/Subscribe functionality
-   - Message handling infrastructure
-
-2. **AMQP Compatibility Layer** (`libs/extended/src/Network/NATS/Extended.hs`)
-   - Interface compatible with existing `Network.AMQP.Extended`
-   - Connection retry logic
-   - Lifecycle hooks for connection management
-   - Credentials from environment variables
-
-3. **Docker Infrastructure**
-   - `docker-compose.yaml` updated to use NATS instead of RabbitMQ
-   - NATS 2.10 with JetStream enabled
-   - Monitoring interface on port 8222
-
-4. **Documentation**
-   - Migration guide: `docs/rabbitmq-to-nats-migration.md`
-   - Configuration options updated
-   - Environment variable documentation
-
-## What's NOT Done Yet
-
-### ⚠️ Important: Services Have NOT Been Migrated
-
-The following services still use RabbitMQ and need migration in future PRs:
-
-- [ ] **gundeck** - Push notification service
-- [ ] **cannon** - WebSocket connection service  
-- [ ] **background-worker** - Federation notification processor
-- [ ] **brig** - User management service
-- [ ] **galley** - Conversation service
-
-### Missing Features
-
-The current NATS implementation lacks:
-
-- [ ] JetStream support (for persistent queues)
-- [ ] TLS/SSL connections
-- [ ] NATS clustering support
-- [ ] Admin/management API client
-- [ ] Comprehensive error handling
-- [ ] Performance optimizations
-- [ ] Integration tests
-
-### Infrastructure Updates Needed
-
-- [ ] Helm charts (all services)
-- [ ] Nix build configuration
-- [ ] CI/CD pipeline updates
-- [ ] Integration test infrastructure
-- [ ] Monitoring and metrics setup
-
-## Building and Testing
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-The NATS client requires these Haskell packages:
-- `network` - Network sockets
-- `random` - Random number generation
-- `aeson` - JSON parsing
-- `bytestring` - Byte string operations
-- `containers` - Map/Set data structures
-
-### Local Testing
-
-Start NATS server:
-```bash
-cd deploy/dockerephemeral
-export NATS_USERNAME=guest
-export NATS_PASSWORD=guest
-docker-compose up nats
-```
-
-NATS endpoints:
-- Client: `localhost:4222`
-- Monitoring: `http://localhost:8222`
-- Health: `http://localhost:8222/healthz`
-
-### Compilation
-
-The NATS modules are added to `libs/extended/extended.cabal`:
-```
-exposed-modules:
-    Network.NATS.Client
-    Network.NATS.Extended
-```
-
-Build the extended library:
-```bash
-cabal build extended
-```
-
-## Next Steps
-
-### Phase 2: Service Migration (Estimated: 4-6 weeks)
-
-Migrate services one at a time:
-
-1. **Start with Background Worker** (simplest)
-   - Single consumer pattern
-   - Well-defined queue structure
-   - Good test case for approach
-
-2. **Then Gundeck** (moderate complexity)
-   - Publishing side mostly
-   - Well-isolated
-
-3. **Then Cannon** (most complex)
-   - Per-client queue creation
-   - Complex connection pooling
-   - Critical path for notifications
-
-4. **Finally Brig and Galley**
-   - Event publishing
-   - Less complex than Cannon
-
-### Phase 3: Enhanced Features (Estimated: 2-3 weeks)
-
-- Add JetStream for persistence
-- Implement TLS support
-- Add clustering capabilities
-- Build admin API client
-- Improve error handling
-
-### Phase 4: Infrastructure (Estimated: 2 weeks)
-
-- Update all Helm charts
-- Update Nix configurations
-- Migrate test infrastructure
-- Update CI/CD pipelines
-
-### Phase 5: Production Readiness (Estimated: 2-3 weeks)
-
-- Performance testing
-- Load testing
-- Security review
-- Monitoring setup
-- Migration strategy
-- Rollback procedures
-
-## Risks and Mitigation
-
-### Risk: Service Compatibility
-
-**Mitigation:** 
-- Compatibility layer maintains similar interface
-- Gradual service-by-service migration
-- Ability to run both systems temporarily
-
-### Risk: Message Delivery Semantics
-
-**Problem:** NATS and RabbitMQ have different message delivery guarantees
-
-**Mitigation:**
-- Use JetStream for persistence needs
-- Document semantic differences
-- Update application logic as needed
-
-### Risk: Performance Under Load
-
-**Mitigation:**
-- Benchmark early and often
-- Use NATS best practices
-- Monitor performance metrics
-
-### Risk: Operational Complexity
-
-**Mitigation:**
-- Comprehensive documentation
-- Training for ops team
-- Gradual rollout strategy
-
-## Decision Log
-
-### Why NATS?
-
-1. **Simpler Operations**: Less infrastructure complexity than RabbitMQ
-2. **Better Performance**: Lower latency, higher throughput
-3. **Cloud Native**: Better fit for Kubernetes deployments
-4. **Lower Resource Usage**: Smaller memory and CPU footprint
-5. **Built-in Clustering**: Simpler to scale horizontally
-
-### Why Not Keep RabbitMQ?
-
-1. Operational overhead
-2. Complex message routing not fully utilized
-3. Resource intensive
-4. Scaling challenges in Kubernetes
-
-## Timeline
-
-- **Phase 1 (Foundation)**: ✅ Complete
-- **Phase 2 (Services)**: Not started - Estimated 4-6 weeks
-- **Phase 3 (Features)**: Not started - Estimated 2-3 weeks
-- **Phase 4 (Infrastructure)**: Not started - Estimated 2 weeks
-- **Phase 5 (Production)**: Not started - Estimated 2-3 weeks
-
-**Total Estimated Time: 10-14 weeks** with a dedicated team
-
-## Getting Help
-
-- Review `docs/rabbitmq-to-nats-migration.md` for detailed migration guide
-- Check NATS documentation: https://docs.nats.io/
-- Review NATS protocol: https://docs.nats.io/reference/reference-protocols/nats-protocol
-
-## Contributing
-
-When working on the migration:
-
-1. Follow existing code patterns
-2. Add comprehensive tests
-3. Update documentation
-4. Consider backward compatibility
-5. Review changes with the team
-
-## Questions?

-1. **Start here**: [`NATS_MIGRATION_STATUS.md`](NATS_MIGRATION_STATUS.md)
-   - What's done, what's not
-   - Current limitations
-   - Timeline estimates
-
-2. **Deep dive**: [`docs/rabbitmq-to-nats-migration.md`](docs/rabbitmq-to-nats-migration.md)
-   - Why NATS?
-   - Architecture changes
-   - Subject naming conventions
-   - Testing strategies
-
-### For Implementing the Migration
-
-3. **Step-by-step**: [`docs/nats-migration-checklist.md`](docs/nats-migration-checklist.md)
-   - Detailed checklist for each service
-   - Pre-migration tasks
-   - Testing procedures

-
-## 🏗️ Architecture
-
-### Before (RabbitMQ)
-```
-[Service] --AMQP--> [RabbitMQ Exchange] --> [Queue] --> [Consumer]
-```
-
-### After (NATS)
-```
-[Service] --NATS--> [Subject: user.notifications.{userId}] --> [Subscriber]
-```
-
-### Key Differences
-
-| Aspect | RabbitMQ | NATS |
-|--------|----------|------|
-| Routing | Exchange + Queue | Subject-based |
-| Persistence | Built-in | JetStream (future) |
-| Complexity | High | Low |
-| Performance | Moderate | High |
-| Operations | Complex | Simple |

-## 🎯 Next Steps
-
-1. **Review this PR**
-   - Check NATS client implementation
-   - Review documentation
-   - Test NATS connectivity
-
-2. **Plan Phase 2**

-
-3. **Start Migration**
-   - Follow `docs/nats-migration-checklist.md`
-   - Begin with background-worker (simplest)
-   - Iterate and improve
-
-## ⚙️ Configuration Changes
-
-### Environment Variables (New)
-
-```bash
-export NATS_USERNAME=guest
-export NATS_PASSWORD=guest
-export NATS_HOST=localhost
-export NATS_PORT=4222
-```
-
-### Service Configuration (Future)
-
-When services are migrated, configuration will change from:
-
-```yaml
-# Old
-rabbitmq:
-  host: localhost
-  port: 5672
-  vHost: /
-```
-
-To:
-
-```yaml
-# New
-nats:
-  host: localhost
-  port: 4222
-  namespace: "wire"
-```
-
-## 🐛 Known Limitations
-
-1. **No JetStream**: Current implementation uses basic NATS (ephemeral)
-2. **No TLS**: TLS support planned for Phase 3
-3. **No Clustering**: Single NATS server only
-4. **Basic Auth**: Username/password only
-5. **Services Not Migrated**: All services still use RabbitMQ
-
-## 📞 Support

-
-## 🔒 Security Notes
-
-- Default credentials (`guest/guest`) are for development only
-- Production should use:
-  - Strong passwords from secrets management
-  - TLS encryption (Phase 3)
-  - Network policies
-  - Authentication tokens
-
-## 📈 Performance
-
-NATS generally offers:
-- **Lower latency** than RabbitMQ
-- **Higher throughput**
-- **Lower memory footprint**
-- **Better CPU efficiency**
-
-Specific benchmarks will be conducted in Phase 5.
-
-## 🚨 Rollback
-
-If issues arise:
-1. Keep RabbitMQ infrastructure during transition
-2. Services can be rolled back individually
-3. Configuration can revert to RabbitMQ
-4. Messages in flight may be lost (plan accordingly)
-
-## ✅ Sign-Off
-
-This PR should be reviewed by:
-- [ ] Backend team lead
-- [ ] Service owners
-- [ ] Operations team
-- [ ] Architecture team
-
-## 🎉 Conclusion
-
-This PR provides a solid foundation for the NATS migration. While services aren't yet migrated, all the infrastructure and documentation is in place to begin the migration process systematically and safely.
-
-The migration is estimated to take **10-14 weeks** with a dedicated team, and this foundation represents the first **1-2 weeks** of work.
-
-Let's build something great! 🚀

-# RabbitMQ to NATS Migration Guide
-
-## Overview
-
-This document describes the migration from RabbitMQ (AMQP) to NATS for the Wire server messaging infrastructure.
-
-## Why NATS?
-
-NATS is a lightweight, high-performance messaging system that offers:
-- Simpler operational model
-- Better performance for request-reply patterns
-- Native cloud-native deployment support
-- Built-in JetStream for persistence when needed
-- Lower resource footprint
-
-## Architecture Changes
-
-### Message Semantics
-
-| Feature | RabbitMQ | NATS |
-|---------|----------|------|
-| Delivery | Persistent queues | Ephemeral (JetStream for persistence) |
-| Acknowledgment | Built-in ACK/NACK | JetStream ACK |
-| Routing | Exchange + Queue bindings | Subject-based |
-| Dead Letter Queue | Built-in | JetStream consumers |
-
-### Subject Naming Convention
-
-NATS uses subject-based routing instead of exchanges and queues. The migration uses the following convention:
-
-- User notifications: `user.notifications.{userId}.{clientId}`
-- Backend notifications: `backend.notifications.{domain}`
-- Cells events: `cells.events`
-- Temporary clients: `user.notifications.{userId}.temp`
-
-### Connection Management
-
-The NATS client implementation provides:
-- Automatic reconnection with exponential backoff
-- Connection pooling (similar to RabbitMQ channels)
-- Lifecycle hooks for connection management
-
-## Implementation Status
-
-### Completed
-- [x] Basic NATS client implementation (`libs/extended/src/Network/NATS/Client.hs`)
-- [x] AMQP compatibility layer (`libs/extended/src/Network/NATS/Extended.hs`)
-- [x] Docker Compose configuration updated
-
-### In Progress
-- [ ] Service migrations (gundeck, cannon, background-worker, brig, galley)
-- [ ] Helm chart updates
-- [ ] Nix build configuration
-- [ ] Integration tests
-- [ ] Performance testing
-
-### Pending
-- [ ] JetStream integration for persistent queues
-- [ ] NATS admin client (replacing RabbitMqAdmin)
-- [ ] Migration tooling
-- [ ] Monitoring and metrics
-- [ ] Production deployment strategy
-
-## Current Limitations
-
-The initial NATS client implementation has several limitations:
-
-1. **Basic Protocol**: Implements core NATS protocol only, not JetStream
-2. **No Persistence**: Messages are ephemeral by default
-3. **Simple Authentication**: Username/password only
-4. **No TLS**: TLS support needs to be added
-5. **No Clustering**: Single server connection only
-
-These limitations will be addressed in subsequent phases.
-
-## Migration Strategy
-
-### Phase 1: Foundation (Current)
-Create basic NATS client and compatibility layer.
-
-### Phase 2: Service Migration
-Migrate each service individually:
-1. gundeck (push notifications)
-2. cannon (websocket)
-3. background-worker (federation)
-4. brig (user events)
-5. galley (conversation events)
-
-### Phase 3: Enhanced Features
-- Add JetStream support
-- Implement TLS
-- Add clustering support
-- Improve error handling
-
-### Phase 4: Production Deployment
-- Performance testing
-- Load testing
-- Gradual rollout
-- Monitoring
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Environment Variables
-
-```bash
-# NATS connection (replaces RABBITMQ_* vars)
-export NATS_USERNAME=guest
-export NATS_PASSWORD=guest
-```
-
-### Service Configuration
-
-Services need to be updated with NATS configuration instead of RabbitMQ:
-
-```yaml
-# Old (RabbitMQ)
-rabbitmq:
-  host: localhost
-  port: 5672
-  vHost: /
-
-# New (NATS)
-nats:
-  host: localhost
-  port: 4222
-  namespace: ""  # Optional subject prefix
-```
-
-## Testing
-
-### Local Development
-
-```bash
-# Start NATS using docker-compose
-cd deploy/dockerephemeral
-docker-compose up nats
-
-# NATS will be available at:
-# - Client port: 4222
-# - Monitoring: http://localhost:8222
-```
-
-### Integration Tests
-
-Integration tests need to be updated to:
-1. Use NATS instead of RabbitMQ
-2. Update queue assertions
-3. Handle NATS-specific behavior
-
-## Rollback Plan
-
-During the migration, the system can be rolled back by:
-1. Reverting service deployments
-2. Switching back to RabbitMQ in configuration
-3. Ensuring data loss is acceptable (messages in flight will be lost)
-
-## Performance Considerations
-
-NATS generally offers:
-- Lower latency than RabbitMQ
-- Higher throughput
-- Lower memory footprint
-- Better CPU efficiency
-
-However, specific benchmarks should be conducted for the Wire use case.
-
-## Monitoring
-
-Key metrics to monitor:
-- Connection status
-- Message throughput
-- Message latency
-- Error rates
-- Connection pool utilization
-
-## Support and Documentation
-
-- [NATS Documentation](https://docs.nats.io/)
-- [NATS Protocol](https://docs.nats.io/reference/reference-protocols/nats-protocol)
-- [JetStream](https://docs.nats.io/nats-concepts/jetstream)
-
-## Contributing
-
-When working on the migration:
-1. Follow the existing code style
-2. Add tests for new functionality
-3. Update documentation
-4. Consider backward compatibility
-5. Test thoroughly before submitting PRs
-
-## Questions and Issues
-
-For questions or issues related to the migration, please:
-1. Check this document first
-2. Review NATS documentation
-3. Open an issue in the repository
-4. Contact the backend team

Subject: [PATCH 07/10] Update brig and wire-api-federation to use NATS
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Updated Brig.Federation.Client: enqueueNotification uses NATS channel
- Updated Wire.API.Federation.BackendNotifications: enqueue signature changed to use NatsChannel, removed deliveryMode parameter
- FedQueueEnv updated to use NatsChannel instead of Q.Channel
- ensureQueue simplified (NATS doesn't need upfront queue declarations)
- All imports changed from Network.AMQP to Network.NATS.Client

Progress: gundeck ✅, brig ✅, wire-api-federation ✅
Still TODO: cannon, galley, background-worker

Subject: [PATCH 08/10] Update galley to use NATS
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Updated Galley.Env: _rabbitmqChannel -> _natsChannel
- Updated BackendNotificationQueueAccess: Removed Q.DeliveryMode parameters
- Updated Intra/BackendNotificationQueue: All AMQP imports -> NATS, removed delivery mode handling
- NoRabbitMqChannel -> NoNatsChannel exception
- getChannel returns MVar NatsChannel instead of Q.Channel
- All enqueue functions simplified (no delivery mode param)

Progress: gundeck ✅, brig ✅, wire-api-federation ✅, galley ✅
Still TODO: cannon, background-worker, API modules

Subject: [PATCH 10/10] Update remaining services with NATS imports and TODO
 notes

- Replaced AMQP imports with NATS imports in background-worker and cannon
- Added TODO notes explaining that consumer logic needs substantial rework
- Background-worker files: BackendNotificationPusher, DeadUserNotificationWatcher, Util
- Cannon files: RabbitMq.hs, RabbitMqConsumerApp.hs, Types.hs, WS.hs

NOTE: These files use RabbitMQ consumer patterns (consumeMsgs, ConsumerTag, etc.)
that need to be replaced with NATS subscription patterns. The core message
processing logic remains valid but delivery mechanism needs updating.

All services now have NATS imports. Consumer implementation is next phase.
