Consumer groups for pull based consumers in jetstream?

[achristopoulos-sportserve]

Hello,
As I have seen in the nats docs (for jetstream), there is the deliver_group for push based consumers however for pull based consumers I do not see any option for consumer groups. For the pull based case, is there any option/alternative to define consumer groups or is this something to be implemented in the future?

You don't need consumer groups for pull consumers, just reference the same consumer and fetch/consume/next on it. They will scale horizontally automagically - https://github.com/nats-io/nats.deno/blob/main/jetstream.md#processing-messages

Thanks for your answer!
What is the difference between consume and fetch methods?
