google-cloud-pubsub

Google Cloud Pub/Sub (docs) is designed to provide reliable, many-to-many, asynchronous messaging between applications. Publisher applications can send messages to a “topic” and other applications can subscribe to that topic to receive the messages. By decoupling senders and receivers, Google Cloud Pub/Sub allows developers to communicate between independently written applications.

Authentication

This library uses Service Account credentials to connect to Google Cloud services. When running on Compute Engine the credentials will be discovered automatically. When running on other environments the Service Account credentials can be specified by providing the path to the JSON file, or the JSON itself, in environment variables.

Instructions and configuration options are covered in the Authentication Guide.

Example

require "google/cloud/pubsub"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::Pubsub.new(

)

# Retrieve a topic
topic = pubsub.topic "my-topic"

# Publish a new message
msg = topic.publish "new-message"

# Retrieve a subscription
sub = pubsub.subscription "my-topic-sub"

# Pull available messages
msgs = sub.pull
