    If you want to stream high volumes of data, be it for ETL streaming or event sourcing, Google Cloud Pub/Sub is your go-to tool. It's easy to learn, easy to observe its metrics and scales with ease without additional configuration so if you have more producers of consumers, all you need to do is to deploy on k8s your solutions so that you can perform autoscaling on your pods to adjust to the data volume. The DLQ is also very transparent and easy to configure. Your code will have no logic whatsoever regarding orchestrating pubsub, you just plug and play. However, if you are not in the Google Cloud Pub/Sub environment, you might have trouble or be most likely unable to use it since I think it's a product of Google Cloud.

    TIBCO BusinessEvents is part of the CEP (Complex Event Processing) family, this means that it fits perfectly in all those scenarios where a correlation between incoming events is required. Where a stateful process is necessary. It does not fit well for a kind of Process Orchestrator scope, where simple events are coming in, and there is a well-defined behavior the system, would have on incoming request, and no particular reason to use a rule engine and its complexity. Anyway, there are particular cases where BusinessEvents would be a good actor in orchestrating a portion of CEP solutions activities

    Pros
    Google
    • With a pub/sub architecture the consumer is decoupled in time from the publisher i.e. if the consumer goes down, it can replay any events that occurred during its downtime.
    • It also allows consumer to throttle and batch incoming data providing much needed flexibility while working with multiple types of data sources
    • A simple and easy to use UI on cloud console for setup and debugging
    • It enables event-driven architectures and asynchronous parallel processing, while improving performance, reliability and scalability

    • It allows us to build rule-based model-driven application, to collect, filter, analyze, correlate various business events in our real-time event flow
    • It makes various business applications/components easy to integrate (loosely decoupled but chained via the events flow) together
    • Its distributed rule engine and embedded in-memory data grid (ActiveSpace) gives us a lot of flexibility and room to play with a large amount of rules and data with high performance

    Cons

    • Would be nice if the queue could be extended beyond 7 days.
    • We found it a bit tricky replay unacknowledged messages when needed.

    • Better integration with R versions and better debug for R-scripts in Spotfire. There are inconsistencies in syntactic expressions accepted by R-studio and not accepted in Spotfire. Accelerating the debug would be awesome. Having a command like View (data frame) that directly output in the dashboard would be a great accelerator.

    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.

    Usability
    Google
    It is easy to create Google Cloud Pub/Sub topics from both Web Console and CLI commands.
    Google Cloud Pub/Sub supports creation of one or more subscriptions.
    By supporting a BigQuery Pub/Sub subscription to automatically write to a BigQuery table it simplifies development by avoiding implementation of a custom micro service for writes to BigQuery.

    TIBCO Business Events is one of the best in business and very well suitable for organization like ours where there are large volumes of data that need to be processed on daily basis. It helps in real time monitoring of data and supports writing complex rules which makes it easier to get the work done. It also helps in fraud detection by identifying suspicious activities and integrate with other systems for a comprehensive view.

    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.

    Having used Amazon Web Services SNS & SQS I can say that even if the latter may offer more features, Google Cloud Pub/Sub is easier to use. On the other hand, usage of SNS & SQS as well as documentation and troubleshooting is easier with the AWS solution. Since we are not using GCP only for Pub/Sub the choice depends on other variables.

    I was not part of evaluation of the products in this space in my organization. But I feel BE is better in terms of RIO if compared with some commercial products from Orcle, IBM and SAP. I strongly feel difficulty in using cloud native features is one big shortcoming in current product offering. This will tend customer like us to explore options that are well suited with ur cloud first vision.

    Scalability

    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.

    • Positive : Real-time event stream processing helps handle transactions very efficiently.
    • Negative : Earlier versions of BE (5.0 & 5.1) had major issues in data handling in cache that impacted the data integrity of the application.
    • Positive : Decision Tables are a huge plus in TIBCO BE.
