Google Cloud Pub/Sub vs Nchan: What are the differences?
Developers describe Google Cloud Pub/Sub as "Global service for real-time and reliable messaging and streaming data". Cloud Pub/Sub is a fully-managed real-time messaging service that allows you to send and receive messages between independent applications. You can leverage Cloud Pub/Sub’s flexibility to decouple systems and components hosted on Google Cloud Platform or elsewhere on the Internet. On the other hand, Nchan is detailed as "A scalable, flexible pub/sub server for the modern web". It is built as a module for the Nginx web server. It can be configured as a standalone server, or as a shim between your application and hundreds, thousands, or millions of live subscribers. It can buffer messages in memory, on-disk, or via Redis.
Google Cloud Pub/Sub and Nchan can be categorized as "Realtime Backend / API" tools.
Nchan is an open source tool with 2.35K GitHub stars and 243 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Nchan's open source repository on GitHub.
