NATS api for creating clusters and gateways

Question

Does NATS provide some api for managing its topology, ie create new cluster, combine it in supercluster, create gateway etc. In docs I see only file configuration, but is there another way for configuring nats?

Answer 1

No, there is no API to handle topology. Leveraging gossip protocol should ease the process - when adding a new node to the cluster, you don't need to alter the configuration of the current ones, nor let clients know.
