Message queues Partial match
Amazon SQS maps partly to Pub/Sub pull subscriptions for queue-style consumption, and to Cloud Tasks for dispatching individual tasks with rate limits and scheduled delivery.
- Pub/Sub is a topic/subscription model; each subscription acts like its own queue.
- Cloud Tasks pushes tasks to HTTP targets rather than letting consumers poll.
