+# Multi Region NATS Cluster
+
+This demonstrates a very basic NATS Cluster using only routes across 3 regions.
+
+This should be used in cases where a multi region setup is needed and one requires a stream to be globally deployed and have globally consistent message deduplication.
+
+## Constraints
+
+ * This should be deployed in networks with generally below 100ms latency. For example in GCP using Tier-1 network connectivity in US east, west and central.
+ * Streams should generally be R3 when stretched out of a single region to mitigate the big exposure they would have to latency if R5
+ * Multi-region streams should not be the default, ideally these are only used for those cases where global deduplication is needed
+ * For general streams where eventual consistency is acceptible streams should be bound to a region and replicated into others if desired
+
+## Configuration guidelines
+
+### Server Tags
+
+Each server is tagged with a regional tag, for example, `region:east` or `region:west`. The servers are configured with anti-affinity on this tag using the following configuration:
+
+```
+jetstream {
+  unique_tag: "region:"
+}
+```
+
+This ensures that streams that are not specifically bound to a single region will be split across the 3 regions.
+
+### Configuring single region streams
+
+```
+$ nats stream add --tag region:east --replicas 3 EAST
+...
+Cluster Information:
+
+                 Name: c1
+               Leader: n1-east
+              Replica: n2-east, current, seen 1ms ago
+              Replica: n3-east, current, seen 0s ago
+```
+
+Note the servers are `n1-east`, `n2-east`, `n3-east`.
+
+### Configuring a global stream
+
+```
+$ nats stream add --replicas 3 GLOBAL
+...
+Cluster Information:
+
+                 Name: c1
+               Leader: n1-central
+              Replica: n2-east, current, seen 0s ago
+              Replica: n3-west, current, seen 0s ago
+
+```
+
+Note here we give no placement directive so the server will spread it across regions due to the `unique_tag` setting.  Servers are `n1-central`, `n2-east` and `n3-west` - 1 per region.
+
+### Configuring replicated streams
+
+To facilitate an eventually consistent but single config set up we show how to create 3 streams:
+
+ * `ORDERS_EAST` listening on subjects `js.in.orders_east`
+ * `ORDERS_WEST` listening on subjects `js.in.orders_west`
+ * `ORDERS_CENTRAL` listening on subjects `js.in.orders.central`
+
+We then use server mappings in each region to map `js.in.orders` to the in-region subject:
+
+```
+accounts {
+  one: {
+    jetstream: enabled
+    mappings: {
+      js.in.orders: js.in.orders_central
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+We can now publish to one subject and depend on which region we connect to the local stream will handle - then replicate - the data:
+
+```
+$ nats --context contexts/central-user.json req js.in.orders 1
+{"stream":"ORDERS_CENTRAL", "seq":4}
+
+$ nats --context contexts/east-user.json req js.in.orders 1
+{"stream":"ORDERS_EAST", "seq":5}
+```
+
+After a short while all streams hold the same data.
+
+```

+
+This allows portable publishers to be built, consumers will need to know the region they are in and bind to the correct stream.
