Messaging Service is Great for Distributed Systems
- A hands-off approach to publishing messages and subscribing to topics.
- Easy to use APIs.
- Useful, simple UI on cloud console to send messages for debugging, etc.
- I can't think of missing functionality, but added functionality is always nice!

Great Asynchronous Data Messaging Services, Reliable, Scalable and fully managed by 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 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

Pub/Sub, simple + reliable + scalable = a great product
- Highly scalable.
- Queues messages for up to 7 days if not acknowledged.
- Would be nice if the queue could be extended beyond 7 days.
- We found it a bit tricky replay unacknowledged messages when needed.
