Description

Google Cloud Pub/Sub is a scalable, durable event ingestion and message delivery system that allows you to create an infrastructure whose responsibility is to handle message queues. Pub/Sub delivers low-latency, durable messaging by using two core components: topics and subscriptions. You can create a topic where messages will be sent to, and subscriptions attached to the topics. All messages sent to a specific topic will be delivered to all the subscriptions attached. All the components that get messages from a subscription are called subscribers. For more detailed info about what is Cloud Pub/Sub, you can refer to the official GCP guide.

In this lab, you will understand the core components of a Pub/Sub system, you will create a topic and attach a subscription to it, you will send a message to the topic, and you will create a batch job using Cloud Dataflow to import messages to your topic from a text file stored in a Cloud Storage bucket.
