Although they\nare conceptually similar, each is designed for different set of use cases.\nThis page helps you choose the right product for your use case.\n\nKey Differences\n---------------\n\nThe core difference between Pub/Sub and Cloud Tasks is\nin the notion of implicit vs. explicit invocation.\n\nPub/Sub aims to decouple publishers of events and subscribers to those\nevents. Publishers do not need to know anything about their subscribers.\nTherefore, Pub/Sub gives publishers no control over the delivery of the\nmessages save for the guarantee of delivery. In this way, Pub/Sub\nsupports **implicit** invocation: a publisher implicitly causes the subscribers\nto execute by publishing an event.\n\nBy contrast, Cloud Tasks is aimed at **explicit** invocation where\nthe publisher retains full control of execution. In particular, a publisher\nspecifies an endpoint where each message is to be delivered.\n\nOverall Cloud Tasks are appropriate for use cases where\na task producer needs to defer or control the execution timing of a specific\nwebhook or remote procedure call. Pub/Sub is optimal for more general\nevent data ingestion and distribution patterns where some degree of\ncontrol over execution can be sacrificed.\n\nDetailed feature comparison\n---------------------------"]]
