One of NATS Streaming's biggest drawbacks is the lack for clustering.

Full clustering is being actively worked on. However, it does currently support "partitioning" which enables configuring multiple NATS Streaming servers to handle different sets of channels. In this mode, they are "clustered" in that a client can connect to any server and it will be routed to the correct server for the given channel. So for scaling needs, that is one option. The best option for replication/fault tolerance of the data are to setup up a consumer that relays data from the various channels into a separate server on another host.

FYI ... Clustering is now available.
