If you have been looking into cloud computing, then the chances are you have come across the term big data. This is used to describe the large volumes of data those modern-day businesses are processing. We are not so worried about the mass of data, but more about how we can use this data. Almost everything carries a digital footprint these days, and there are challenges to ingest this data and to extract meaningful information. Google offers services that work together to allow us to first gather data, and then process it, before finally analyzing it. The faster we can analyze this means the faster business decisions can be made. Big data is becoming very important to many organizations.
We can ingest data from multiple sources, execute code to process this data, and then analyze the data to ensure that we maximize our business capabilities:
Of course, this is a very simplistic view of it and there are complexities when architecting our solutions. Pub/Sub is a messaging and event ingestion service that acts as the glue between the loosely coupled systems. It allows us to send and receive messages between independent
applications whilst decoupling the publishers of events and subscribers to those events. This means the publishers do not need to know anything about their subscribers. Pub/Sub is fully managed and therefore offers scale at ease, making it perfect for a modern stream analytics pipeline.
There are some core concepts that you should understand:
• A publisher is an application that will create and send messages to a topic.
• A topic is a resource to which messages are sent by publishers.
• A subscription represents the stream of messages from a single topic to be delivered to the subscribing application. Subscribers will either receive the message through pull or push, meaning the Pub/Sub pushes the messages to the endpoint using a webhook, or the message is pulled by the application using HTTPS requests to the Google API.
• A message is the data that a publisher will send to a topic. Put simply, it is data in transit through the system.
Publishers can be any application that can make HTTPS requests to googleapis.com. This can be existing GCP services, Internet Of Things (IoT) devices, or end user applications.
As we mentioned earlier, subscribers receive the messages either by a pull or push delivery method. Similar to publishers, pull subscribers can be any application that can make HTTPS requests to googleapis.com. In this case, the subscriber application will initiate requests to Pub/Sub to retrieve messages. On the other hand, push subscribers must be webhook endpoints that can accept POST requests over HTTPS.
In this case, Cloud Pub/Sub initiates requests to the subscriber application to deliver messages. Consideration should be given as to the best method for our requirements. As an example, if you are expecting a large volume of messages (for example, more than one message per second), then it is advisable to use the pull delivery method. Alternatively, if you have multiple topics that must be processed by the same webhook, then it is advisable to use the push delivery method:
CERTFICATE OF COMPLETION: Participants will receive a certificate of completion at the end of a course. This is not an official certification for the product and/or software. Our courses do indicate the appropriate certification exam(s) that the participant can sit. Data Vision Systems does not provide certification or deliver the certification exams. Participants are responsible for arranging and paying for the certification exams on the appropriate certification body.
CANCELLATION POLICY: There is never a fee for cancelling seven business days before a class for any reason. Data Vision Systems reserves the right to cancel any course due to insufficient registration or other extenuating circumstances. Participants will be advised prior to doing so.
