Detailed Comparison
NSQ is a realtime distributed messaging platform designed to operate at scale, handling billions of messages per day. It promotes distributed and decentralized topologies without single points of failure, enabling fault tolerance and high availability coupled with a reliable message delivery guarantee. See features & guarantees. | 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. |
support distributed topologies with no SPOF;horizontally scalable (no brokers, seamlessly add more nodes to the cluster);low-latency push based message delivery (performance);combination load-balanced and multicast style message routing;excel at both streaming (high-throughput) and job oriented (low-throughput) workloads;primarily in-memory (beyond a high-water mark messages are transparently kept on disk);runtime discovery service for consumers to find producers (nsqlookupd);transport layer security (TLS);data format agnostic;few dependencies (easy to deploy) and a sane, bounded, default configuration;simple TCP protocol supporting client libraries in any language;HTTP interface for stats, admin actions, and producers (no client library needed to publish);integrates with statsd for realtime instrumentation;robust cluster administration interface (nsqadmin) | - |

What are some alternatives to NSQ, Google Cloud Pub/Sub?
Firebase
Firebase is a cloud service designed to power real-time, collaborative applications. Simply add the Firebase library to your application to gain access to a shared data structure; any changes you make to that data are automatically synchronized with the Firebase cloud and with other clients within milliseconds.
Socket.IO
It enables real-time bidirectional event-based communication. It works on every platform, browser or device, focusing equally on reliability and speed.
Kafka
Kafka is a distributed, partitioned, replicated commit log service. It provides the functionality of a messaging system, but with a unique design.
RabbitMQ
RabbitMQ gives your applications a common platform to send and receive messages, and your messages a safe place to live until received.
Celery
Celery is an asynchronous task queue/job queue based on distributed message passing. It is focused on real-time operation, but supports scheduling as well.
PubNub
PubNub makes it easy for you to add real-time capabilities to your apps, without worrying about the infrastructure. Build apps that allow your users to engage in real-time across mobile, browser, desktop and server.
Pusher
Pusher is the category leader in delightful APIs for app developers building communication and collaboration features.
Amazon SQS
Transmit any volume of data, at any level of throughput, without losing messages or requiring other services to be always available. With SQS, you can offload the administrative burden of operating and scaling a highly available messaging cluster, while paying a low price for only what you use.
SignalR
SignalR allows bi-directional communication between server and client. Servers can now push content to connected clients instantly as it becomes available. SignalR supports Web Sockets, and falls back to other compatible techniques for older browsers. SignalR includes APIs for connection management (for instance, connect and disconnect events), grouping connections, and authorization.
Ably
Ably offers WebSockets, stream resume, history, presence, and managed third-party integrations to make it simple to build, extend, and deliver digital realtime experiences at scale.
