Google Cloud Pub/Sub

N/A
Google offers Cloud Pub/Sub, a managed message oriented middleware supporting many-to-many asynchronous messaging between applications.
It helped in making the sales of my organization scale up.my organization is selling a new product which is relatively unknown to market and we took the help of cloud task to hire some professionals for our sales department and it really paid off in terms of our sales growth and reach.
Using Google Cloud Pub/Sub will mainly depend on the cloud platform used. Our client didn't choose GCP for Google Cloud Pub/Sub, if we went with AWS we would be using SNS/SQS (obviously). However, Google Cloud Pub/Sub is a better solution in the GCP services compared to self-managed solutions such as RabbitMQ for instance (it is managed by GCP and integrates with GCP solutions).
It is limited to work with the same platform but with different datasets at the same time, you must request a prior security authentication.
It can sometimes lead to unexpected charges, as Pub/Sub will automatically keep on retrying messages continuously, even if failures are due to permanent code-level issues.
Message re-deliveries don't apply for ingested services like with Python based client. Push messages tried to be delivered immediately and if your service is busy dealing with some other task, it won't be done OR goes into a queue
It serves all of our purposes in the most transparent way I can imagine, after seeing other message queueing providers, I can only attest to its quality.
It has many libraries in many languages, google provides either good guides or they're AI generated code libraries that are easy to understand. It has very good observability too.
They have decent documentation, but you need to pay for support. We weren't able to answer all our questions with the documentation and didn't have time to setup support before we needed it so I can't give it a higher rating but I think it tends to be a bit slow unless you're a GCP enterprise support customer.
With the support of their hire agent product, CloudTask assisted us in all aspects of employee and customer recruitment and onboarding, It's more efficient and actual then the other tools available in the market right now. We ultimately determined that employing someone directly was the best fit for us despite how flexible having access to all types of possibilities was.
You can just plug in consumers at will and it will respond, there's no need for further configuration or introducing new concepts. You have a queue, if it's slow, you plug in more consumers to process more messages: simple as that.
