Message transports

Configure message transport plugins for communication between workers and server.

Resonate supports transport plugins for message communication between Clients and Servers. In v0.9.4, the only supported non-HTTP message transport is GCP Pub/Sub. Kafka and SQS transports are not yet available in the current server release.

GCP Pub/Sub server plugin#

What does it do?

This plugin enables the server to put messages (containing task information) onto GCP Pub/Sub topics for consumption by SDK Clients using the SDK's Pub/Sub transport plugin.

Where to find it?

The GCP Pub/Sub transport is built into the v0.9.4 server binary — no rebuild required.

Enable the plugin at runtime with the --transports-gcps-project flag:

code

resonate serve --transports-gcps-project my-gcp-project-id

Or in resonate.toml:

code

[transports.gcps]
project = "my-gcp-project-id"

Or via env var: RESONATE_TRANSPORTS__GCPS__PROJECT=my-gcp-project-id.

Kafka server plugin#

Not available in v0.9.4. Kafka transport support is planned for a future release. The Kafka SDK plugin (resonatehq/resonate-transport-kafka-ts) exists for use with future server versions once server-side support is added.

SQS server plugin#

Not available in v0.9.4. AWS SQS transport support is planned for a future release.
