Intro

Google Cloud Pub/Sub is a messaging service which lets independent applicaitons exchange messages with Publish/Subscribe model with others. There are pros and cons when using message servcie as a messaging middleware:

  • use message queue as buffer to hanlde large message request
  • publish/subscribe to different topic depending on the situation

Cons

  • the instantaneity, ordering and duplication of message are not guaranteed

  • performance of message delivery
  • scalability, reliability and availability
