(DEPRECATED) Publish messages with compression rate

Code sample

Go

Before trying this sample, follow the Go setup instructions in the Pub/Sub quickstart using client libraries. For more information, see the Pub/Sub Go API reference documentation.

To authenticate to Pub/Sub, set up Application Default Credentials. For more information, see Set up authentication for a local development environment.

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"io"

	"cloud.google.com/go/pubsub"
)

func publishWithCompression(w io.Writer, projectID, topicID string) error {
	// projectID := "my-project-id"
	// topicID := "my-topic"
	// msg := "Hello World"
	ctx := context.Background()
	client, err := pubsub.NewClient(ctx, projectID)
	if err != nil {
		return fmt.Errorf("pubsub: NewClient: %w", err)
	}
	defer client.Close()

	t := client.Topic(topicID)
	// Enable compression and configure the compression threshold to 10 bytes (default to 240 B).
	// Publish requests of sizes > 10 B (excluding the request headers) will get compressed.
	t.PublishSettings.EnableCompression = true
	t.PublishSettings.CompressionBytesThreshold = 10
	result := t.Publish(ctx, &pubsub.Message{
		Data: []byte("This is a test message"),
	})
	// Block until the result is returned and a server-generated
	// ID is returned for the published message.
	id, err := result.Get(ctx)
	if err != nil {
		return fmt.Errorf("pubsub: result.Get: %w", err)
	}
	fmt.Fprintf(w, "Published a message; msg ID: %v\n", id)
	return nil
}
