Google Cloud Pub/Sub vs Radar: What are the differences?
Developers describe Google Cloud Pub/Sub as "Global service for real-time and reliable messaging and streaming data". Cloud Pub/Sub is a fully-managed real-time messaging service that allows you to send and receive messages between independent applications. You can leverage Cloud Pub/Sub’s flexibility to decouple systems and components hosted on Google Cloud Platform or elsewhere on the Internet. On the other hand, Radar is detailed as "High level API and backend for writing web apps that use push messaging". Radar is built on top of engine.io, the next-generation backend for socket.io. It uses Redis for backend storage, though the assumption is that this is only for storing currently active data.
Google Cloud Pub/Sub and Radar can be primarily classified as "Realtime Backend / API" tools.
Radar is an open source tool with 209 GitHub stars and 35 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Radar's open source repository on GitHub.
