Hi Ryan Thanks for the video, this is very informative. I have a question and wondering if you could help with this. How do we set up email notifications to multiple users who subscribe to a topic? This is fairly simple on AWS, we just choose email as protocol for the Subscription and add the user's email address. How do we set this up in GCP Pub/Sub? Thanks in advance

hey man!

Hummmmm.. we’ll I just finished using Apache Kafka which is like pubsub on steroids. But really, if you need to push, I’d use Cloud Functions in Python (I’ve got a video on it, and it’s powerful, but you have to build everything from scratch)
Do you know how to use pub/sub using future ? Is there any way to use a subscriber without blocking the code? I mean start doing stuff and just ask when there is an actual message in the topic?

@@d-i-ry Thankyou sir, One more question can i have video to sink cloud logging with Big query dataset (table) updates and that will publish a message in a defined topic which is subcribed and triggers cloud function
hi @@cloudlover9186 this one sounds a little bit intricate. i can definitely help you with the steps, but I'm a little confused. what are you hoping to do?
Nice tutorial, Ryan. I only have one doubt, when I open two subscribers the message works as if it were distributed, instead of reaching the two subscribers at the same time. Do you know how to solve this?
Hey thanks Gustavo! That’s how they’ve made PubSub work, as if it’s distributed. If you need to sync actions, PubSub won’t be able to do that, but there are a bunch of other services that can. My favorite is Firebase Cloud Firestore. You can have any number of listeners, and they’ll all receive the update at the same time. You can even integrate PubSub with Firebase (I think I did 2 videos on that a while back)
Thank you so much for the video. Do you think I can have a Python server that listens to the pubsub events? Should I use Django or Flask for that? I want to host a Python server that listens to GCP Pubsub events and handle the incoming events.
Hi Sim, I like Flask because of how many tutorials there are, and because of how easy it is to start up a small server. Your project sounds fun :) good luck :)
Your question is surprisingly intricate. There's a "yes" part to it and a "no" part as well. "Yes" they are the same - it's all Google Cloud, but not 100% the same because you can access Firebase without needing to work in Google Cloud. Firebase is a GCP offering, and it relies on the Google Cloud for all of its own hardware. When we're billed for using Firebase, we're charged for Google Cloud storage, too. But Firebase was a separate company that Google bought, and they try to keep their identity a little bit distinct, too. But slowly, Google Cloud is incorporating it as if it was the faster, younger sibling of BigTable :)
Hi Ryan, the subscriber type which you used in this video is Pull type. Could you please help me how to publish messages if the subscriber type is Push. If there is any python code to publish messages to push type subscription, that would be great.
Hi Rahul, check this article out cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/push you want to keep your message senders and message receivers nice and simple… pull subscribers listen and receive, and push subscribers speak to the server and send messages :)

Let's say that I wanna have the pub sub as my backend service and I wanna send message from my application to pub sub... Would I have to create a Service Account pointing to the Pub Sub topic and I would use the Service Account Key to access Pub Sub? Cheers for the help mate!

@@meredithhoo2312 sorry, im still lost cause I thought this video shows that topic. can you explain an example of what you want to see with message pushing? btw, if I describe PubSub in another way, it's like talking in front of a tv camera. the publisher (the speaker) has no idea if anyone is watching. so if you're looking for a delivery guarantee --- like pushing directly to a specific computer --- that's not something PubSub is able to do
@@meredithhoo2312 AHHH! that's correct. PubSub is a passive system. There are only pulls, not pushes.

In PubSub, the message pusher is the message publisher. the message puller is the listener or message consumer. PubSub's a passive message system, which means that there's no guarantee the message being produced will ever be consumed. There could be no one listening to the message topic.

Hi Muhammad, parameter unpacking is a way of sending multiple parameters to a function, all wrapped in a list or dictionary. Suppose your function looks like this:
def sum(a, b, c):
return a + b + c
and you normally call it like this:
result = sum(1, 2, 3)
but you can also send a "packed" list (or dictionary) of parameters
my_values = [1, 2, 3]
result = sum(*my_values)
the star * will "unpack" the variables for you. it'll turn your 1 list into the 3 input parameters.
Keep in mind that if your list has more values than your function is expecting, there'll be an error
take a look at the answer from "Lorin Hochstein" (with about 753 votes right now) here stackoverflow.com/questions/36901/what-does-double-star-asterisk-and-star-asterisk-do-for-parameters
Lists use 1 star *my_values
