(DEPRECATED) Subscribe with flow control

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 pullMsgsFlowControlSettings(w io.Writer, projectID, subID string) error {
	// projectID := "my-project-id"
	// subID := "my-sub"
	ctx := context.Background()
	client, err := pubsub.NewClient(ctx, projectID)
	if err != nil {
		return fmt.Errorf("pubsub.NewClient: %w", err)
	}
	defer client.Close()

	sub := client.Subscription(subID)
	// MaxOutstandingMessages is the maximum number of unprocessed messages the
	// subscriber client will pull from the server before pausing. This also configures
	// the maximum number of concurrent handlers for received messages.
	//
	// For more information, see https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/pull#streamingpull_dealing_with_large_backlogs_of_small_messages.
	sub.ReceiveSettings.MaxOutstandingMessages = 100
	// MaxOutstandingBytes is the maximum size of unprocessed messages,
	// that the subscriber client will pull from the server before pausing.
	sub.ReceiveSettings.MaxOutstandingBytes = 1e8
	err = sub.Receive(ctx, func(ctx context.Context, msg *pubsub.Message) {
		fmt.Fprintf(w, "Got message: %q\n", string(msg.Data))
		msg.Ack()
	})
	if err != nil {
		return fmt.Errorf("sub.Receive: %w", err)
	}
	return nil
}
