Google brings app messaging to its cloud

From InfoWorld: Closing a gap with other enterprise cloud providers, Google has created a service to facilitate communications across applications that customers build on the company's cloud platform.

The Google Cloud Pub/Sub service, made available as an open beta on Wednesday, is designed for exchanging messages across different Google cloud services and internal systems in great volume and with minimal delay.

The base service allows applications to dispatch missives to each other at a rate of up 10,000 per second. Google promises that the messages will arrive at their destinations in less than a second, even when customer systems are generating more than a million messages per second.

The Pub/Sub service can connect different components built on the Google App Engine and Google Compute Engine, as well as to outside applications by way of a secure Web connection.
