Pub/Sub and Pub/Sub Lite are horizontally scalable
and managed messaging services. These services can handle high volume and
support large storage requirements.
Pub/Sub is usually the default
solution for most application integration and analytics use cases. It is
feature-rich and fully managed.
Pub/Sub Lite is recommended for
applications where messaging throughput is more stable, workloads can benefit
from a partition-based system, and cost is of a significant concern.
