Using Google Cloud Pub/Sub to Connect Applications and Data Streams
Wednesday, March 4, 2015
Many applications need to talk to other varied, and often, distributed systems reliably and in real-time. To make sure things aren't lost in translation, you need a flexible communication model to get messages between multiple systems simultaneously.
That’s why we’re making the beta release of
Google Cloud Pub/Sub
available today, as a way to connect applications and services, whether they're hosted on
Google Cloud Platform
or on-premises. The Google Cloud Pub/Sub
API
provides:
Scale
: offering all customers, by default, up to 10,000 topics and 10,000 messages per second
Global deployment
: dedicated resources in every Google Cloud Platform region enhance availability without increasing latency
Performance
: sub-second notification even when tested at over 1 million messages per second
We designed Google Cloud Pub/Sub to deliver real-time and reliable messaging, in one global, managed service that helps developers create simpler, more reliable, and more flexible applications. It's been tested extensively, supporting critical applications like
Google Cloud Monitoring
and Snapchat's new
Discover
feature. Some common use cases include:
Integrated messaging between components of an application
–
for example, processing an office transfer in an HR system: developers need to control the distribution of updates to the company directory, to security badging, to the moving company, to payroll, and many other services.
Robust data collection from smart devices
–
for example, mobile device endpoints: providing developers with the ability to integrate sensor data from the endpoints with real-time data analysis pipelines, automatically routing the data streams to an application.
You can activate Google Cloud Pub/Sub today from the
APIs & auth
section of the
Google Developers Console
and monitor key metrics with
Google Cloud Monitoring
dashboards. Please share your feedback
directly
or join our
mailing list
for updates and discussions.
