How can I implement a Pub/Sub system in Java?

To implement a Pub/Sub system in Java, you can use libraries like Google Cloud Pub/Sub or Apache Kafka. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a simple code example using Google Cloud Pub/Sub.

Sure! First, add the Google Cloud Pub/Sub dependency to your project. Then, you can create a publisher and subscriber like this:

// Publisher
Publisher publisher = Publisher.newBuilder(topicName).build();

// Subscriber
Subscriber subscriber = Subscriber.newBuilder(subscriptionName, new MessageReceiver() {
    public void receiveMessage(PubsubMessage message, AckReplyConsumer consumer) {
        System.out.println("Message received: " + message.getData().toStringUtf8());
        consumer.ack();
    }}).build();

This sets up a basic Pub/Sub system. Do you need help with anything else?

What are the advantages of using a Pub/Sub model?

The Pub/Sub model decouples message producers from consumers, allowing for scalability, flexibility, and easier maintenance. It also supports asynchronous communication, which can improve performance.

Can you explain how to handle message delivery failures?

Certainly! In a Pub/Sub system, you can implement retries for failed messages, use dead-letter topics for undeliverable messages, and monitor message processing to ensure reliability.
