Create and manage Lite subscriptions

Subscribers use a Lite subscription to read messages from a Lite topic. When you create a Lite subscription, you attach it to a Lite topic. You can attach many Lite subscriptions to a single Lite topic.

Key Point: Understand why you need a Lite subscription, the properties required to create a Lite subscription, and then use the Google Cloud console, the Google Cloud CLI, or the Pub/Sub Lite API to create and manage a Lite subscription.

Properties of a Lite subscription

A subscription for a zonal Lite topic has identical properties to a subscription for a regional Lite topic, except for the following:

• Location type, a zone or a region, used in the resource name. An example of a region location is us-central1; an example of a zone location is us-central1-a.

• Reliability. See Data replication in a Lite topic to learn more about reliability differences between regional and zonal topics.

Lite subscriptions have a delivery requirement property. Lite subscriptions can deliver messages to subscribers immediately after the Pub/Sub Lite service receives the messages or only after the Pub/Sub Lite service stores the message on disk.

If the delivery requirement is deliver-immediately and the Pub/Sub Lite service fails to write a message to storage, the Pub/Sub Lite service returns an error to the publisher but subscribers might still receive the message.

Create a Lite subscription

A Lite subscription must be in the same project and location as the Lite topic to which the Lite subscription is attached.

To create a Lite topic, see Create and manage a Lite topic.

For a list of the available locations, see Pub/Sub Lite locations.

You can create a Lite subscription with the Google Cloud console, the Google Cloud CLI, or the Pub/Sub Lite API.

Console

1. Go to the Lite Subscriptions page.

   Go to Lite Subscriptions

2. Click Create Lite subscription.

3. Enter a Lite subscription ID.

4. Choose a Lite topic to receive messages from.

5. Choose Deliver messages immediately or Deliver messages after stored.

6. Choose a type of Starting offset.

7. Click Create.

gcloud

To create a Lite subscription, use the gcloud pubsub lite-subscriptions create command:

gcloud pubsub lite-subscriptions create SUBSCRIPTION_ID \
  --location=LOCATION \
  --topic=TOPIC_ID \
  --delivery-requirement=DELIVERY_REQUIREMENT

Replace the following:

• SUBSCRIPTION_ID: the ID of the Lite subscription

• LOCATION: the name of a location that Pub/Sub Lite supports

• TOPIC_ID: the ID of the Lite topic to attach to the Lite subscription

• DELIVERY_REQUIREMENT: deliver-after-stored or deliver-immediately

If the request is successful, the command line displays a confirmation:

Created [SUBSCRIPTION_ID].

Protocol

To create a Lite subscription, send a POST request like the following:

POST https://REGION-pubsublite.googleapis.com/v1/admin/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTION_ID
Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)

Replace the following:

• REGION: the region to store the Lite subscription in

• PROJECT_NUMBER: the project number of the project to create the Lite subscription in

• LOCATION: the name of a location that Pub/Sub Lite supports

• SUBSCRIPTION_ID: the ID of the Lite subscription

Specify the following fields in the request body:

{
  "topic": projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/topics/TOPIC_ID,
  "deliveryConfig": {
    "deliveryRequirement": DELIVERY_REQUIREMENT,
   }
}

Replace DELIVERY_REQUIREMENT with deliver-after-stored or deliver-immediately.

If the request is successful, the response is the Lite subscription in JSON format:

{
  "deliveryConfig": {
    "deliveryRequirement": DELIVERY_REQUIREMENT,
   }
  "name": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTION_ID",
  "topic": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/topics/TOPIC_ID",
}

List Lite subscriptions

You can list the Lite subscriptions in a project or the Lite subscriptions to a Lite topic.

List Lite subscriptions in a project

You can list Lite subscriptions in a project using the Google Cloud console, the Google Cloud CLI, or the Pub/Sub Lite API.

Console

• Go to the Lite Subscriptions page.

  Go to Lite Subscriptions

gcloud

• To list the Lite subscriptions in a project, use the gcloud pubsub lite-subscriptions list command:

gcloud pubsub lite-subscriptions list \
  --location=LOCATION

Replace LOCATION with the name of the location that the Lite subscriptions are in.

If the request is successful, the command line displays the Lite subscriptions:

---
deliveryConfig:
  deliveryRequirement: DELIVERY_REQUIREMENT
name: projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTION_ID
topic: projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/topics/TOPIC_ID
---
deliveryConfig:
  deliveryRequirement: DELIVERY_REQUIREMENT
name: projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTION_ID
topic: projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/topics/TOPIC_ID

Protocol

• To list the Lite subscriptions in a project, send a GET request like the following:

GET https://REGION-pubsublite.googleapis.com/v1/admin/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/subscriptions
Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)

Replace the following:

• REGION: the region to store the Lite subscription in

• PROJECT_NUMBER: the project number of the project with the Lite subscription

If the request is successful, the response is the Lite topic in JSON format:

{
  "subscriptions": [
      {
          "name": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTION_ID"
      },
      {
          "name": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTION_ID"
