Google Cloud Pub/Sub

Google Cloud Pub/Sub is a fully-managed, real-time messaging service that allows independent applications to send and receive messages asynchronously. It decouples senders (publishers) and receivers (subscribers) to enable scalable, reliable, and low-latency communication across distributed systems. It supports both push and pull delivery models and integrates seamlessly with other Google Cloud services for data processing and analytics.
