Liftbridge provides lightweight, fault-tolerant message streams by implementing
a durable stream augmentation for the [NATS messaging system](https://nats.io).
It extends NATS with a Kafka-like publish-subscribe log API that is highly
available and horizontally scalable. The goal of Liftbridge is to provide a
a durable, replicated, and scalable message log. The vision for Liftbridge is
to deliver a "Kafka-lite" solution designed with the Go community first in
mind. Unlike Kafka, which is built on the JVM and whose canonical client
library is Java (or the C-based librdkafka), Liftbridge and its canonical
client, [go-liftbridge](https://github.com/liftbridge-io/go-liftbridge), are
implemented in Go. The ultimate goal of Liftbridge is to provide a lightweight
message-streaming solution with a focus on simplicity and usability. Use it as
a simpler and lighter alternative to systems like Kafka and Pulsar or to add
streaming semantics to an existing NATS deployment.
