Thank you all for your responses. Keep them coming if there are more.

My takeaway so far is that Yagnats is used but Gibson is not. Is that
correct?

Thanks again,

HM9000 uses yagnats but is something that can be replaced at some point

Routing team is currently maintaining a client library called Gibson,
which assists with registering HTTP routes with Gorouter via NATS:
https://github.com/cloudfoundry/gibson. Gibson depends on Yagnats, a
library for connecting to NATS.

Until recently, Gibson was used by the executable Route-registrar, which
is the recommended way for components to register HTTP routes in Cloud
Foundry: https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/route-registrar.

Recently the Mega team updated route-registrar to use
https://github.com/nats-io/nats instead of Gibson and Yagnats.

route-registrar was the only project we are aware of that uses gibson.
Does anyone else use it? If not, we may move it to the attic.

How about Yagnats? Is this used by anything other than Gibson? The NATS
client maintained by Derek Collison appears to be a far more active project
and fully-featured utility.
