Google Cloud Pub/Sub Consulting & Support

Pub/Sub Lite is a zonal, capacity-managed service with significantly lower cost for high-volume, predictable workloads (think >1 TB/day). Standard Pub/Sub is serverless, globally distributed, and better for variable or unpredictable workloads. We model your throughput and access patterns to recommend the right product.

Yes. The key translation challenges are: Kafka's partition-based ordering model vs Pub/Sub's ordering key model, consumer group offset management vs Pub/Sub subscription state, and schema registry integration. We handle all of these and help re-architect consumers for the Pub/Sub pull model.

Pub/Sub supports ordered delivery within a message ordering key — messages with the same key are delivered in publish order to a single subscriber. We design your topic schema and key assignment strategy to achieve the ordering guarantees your application requires without sacrificing throughput.

Yes. We deploy Pub/Sub consumers on GKE using Workload Identity for zero-credential authentication, configure the Pub/Sub Operator for Kubernetes-native subscription management, and tune consumer deployment scaling based on subscription backlog metrics.

Yes. Our GCP messaging support SLA is 15 minutes for emergency incidents. We cover subscription delivery failures, push endpoint issues, message ordering problems, Dataflow pipeline stalls, and IAM/VPC Service Controls configuration.

Cloud Pub/Sub is a globally distributed, fully managed messaging service with automatic capacity scaling. Pub/Sub Lite is a lower-cost, zonal alternative with manual capacity management — suitable for high-throughput workloads with predictable load patterns and cost sensitivity.

We design and implement streaming pipelines using Dataflow (Apache Beam) that consume Pub/Sub messages, apply transformations, and write to BigQuery — including exactly-once semantics, late-data handling, and windowing strategies.

We configure Pub/Sub with least-privilege IAM bindings, VPC Service Controls perimeters for data exfiltration prevention, Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK), and private connectivity options including Private Service Connect.
