PubSub

PubSub is the architecture based on Message Channels, where Publishers post messages to the Channel, and Subscribers subscribe to channels to get Messages pushed to them

We design an entire PubSub System from scratch in this folder

The PubSub broker in the middle takes care of receiving and sending messages

PubSub brokers are different from other message brokers like Kafka by how Consumers interact with the Broker

  • In Kafka the Consumers pull
  • In PubSub the Consumers get pushed to
