Oh man, Pub/Sub, there's a term I haven't heard in a few years. It was a pretty big thing in XMPP [1] not so long ago (standardized only 2010?), and I remember people being disappointed that the HTTP-based and Google-driven PubSubHubbub [2] was gaining popularity faster. In retrospect, this was a sign of XMPP's loss of steam as a general web protocol :(
Google Cloud Pub/Sub is HTTP(S), so I guess it's based on PubSubHubbub?

- hencq 12y agoFrom the FAQ [1]: "While Googlers were closely involved in originating PubSubHubbub, its strengths in RSS and content syndication generally are not use cases that Cloud Pub/Sub is designed to address. Aside from the name, they have very little in common." [1] https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/faq#pubsubhubbub https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/faq#pubsubhubbub
- tmatsuo 12y agoYes, you are right. BTW, the use cases are different, but both are using the same core infrastructure that is widely used within Google, which is proven to be scalable and robust :)
