JV Jakub V. Software Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/29/2021 "Changed my mind." 3/5 What do you like best about Google Cloud Pub/Sub? Could access my queues everywhere as it is cloud based service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Google Cloud Pub/Sub? Changed my mind, going from 0 to 6. The product itself works, but that lack of documentation is disturbing. I experienced all sorts of weird behavior in Python. I solved some of them by using throttling, which wasn't described very well. And I still feel the system configuration I found in the end is very brittle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Pub/Sub: Use only with something else than Python and only for very simple tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Google Cloud Pub/Sub solving and how is that benefiting you? We can load balance our microservices by pushing in queues and popping them when they are ready. So it's more about scaling for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
