The Go Pub/Sub library is the only official Pub/Sub library that offers
Synchronous
mode, which switches the underlying poll mechanism forReceive
to the unary Pull instead of the streaming StreamingPull API. This was significant in the past since StreamingPull had the limitation of "overpulling" from the server, since we didn't have server side flow control. Now that server side flow control has been out for a while, we are recommending to users to always use the more performant StreamingPull (or the default Synchronous = false) and will be removingSynchronous
in a later version of the library. There is a plan to expose thePull
method as a separate method later onceSynchronous
is fully removed for those who do not wish to use the streaming API.Also fixes #5012 by updating the synchronous mode documentation.
