Overall Satisfaction with Google Cloud Pub/Sub
We have a highly distributed system of batch jobs. We use Google Cloud Pub/Sub in order to communicate between our front-end, orchestration software, and VMs running batch workloads. It serves as a key piece under the hood for running jobs for scientists and it allows us to distribute our workloads across specialized VMs.
- 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!
- Allowed the use of specialized VMs
- Saves costs and time
Compute Engine is not a direct competitor, but in fact, works well coupled with Pub/Sub.
