Synadia Communications

Synadia Communications, Inc. is the creator and primary maintainer of NATS.io, the CNCF connectivity and messaging system, and sells the commercial platform built on it. Its products are Synadia Cloud (fully managed, globally distributed NATS with a REST control-plane API and an HTTP Gateway that exposes NATS key-value, object store, publish, request and subscribe over plain HTTP), Synadia Platform / Control Plane (self-hosted management, security and observability for NATS deployments on Kubernetes or Docker), Synadia Connect (managed connectors bridging NATS to external data systems), Synadia Insights (NATS monitoring and 143 automated audit checks), and Synadia Protect (a policy-enforcing security gateway for NATS traffic). The company positions NATS as the connectivity fabric for agentic AI, edge and distributed systems, and publishes an unusually complete machine-readable surface for agents: an llms.txt site index, Markdown twins of every page, an RFC 9727 API catalog, and a registry of provider-authored Agent Skills.

Synadia Communications publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Synadia Control Plane / Synadia Cloud API and Synadia Cloud NATS HTTP Gateway. Tagged areas include Company, Messaging, Event Streaming, NATS, and Distributed Systems.

The Synadia Communications catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Synadia Communications’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 28 more developer resources.
