Constructs portable pub/sub topics and subscriptions via gocloud.dev/pubsub, enabling provider swapping (GCP, Kafka, AWS SNS, mem) without code changes. Activated when boost factory pubsub imports or gocloud.dev questions appear.

Configure topic/subscription URLs (gcppubsub://..., kafka://..., awssns:///..., mempubsub://...) under boost.factory.gocloud.pubsub.* (override BOOST_FACTORY_GOCLOUD_PUBSUB_*).
| Reach for gocloud.dev | Reach for native (boost-factory-pubsub, boost-factory-kafka, ...) |
|---|---|
| Want to swap providers via URL config without code change | Committed to one provider; want full feature surface |
Tests use mempubsub:// for in-process fakes | Production-only path; tests run against real broker |
The native factories expose more provider-specific knobs. gocloud.dev exposes the lowest-common-denominator API.
| Red flag | Fix |
|---|---|
pubsub.OpenTopic(ctx, url) directly | gcppubsub.NewTopic(ctx) |
URL via os.Getenv | BOOST_FACTORY_GOCLOUD_PUBSUB_* |
Forgetting defer topic.Shutdown(ctx) | Add it |
npx claudepluginhub xgodev/boost --plugin golang-boostConstructs a Google Cloud Pub/Sub client in a Go service using the boost factory wrapper. Covers fpubsub.NewClient, lifecycle, and sharing the client between publisher and subscriber.
Implements publisher-subscriber communication with topic-based routing and fan-out delivery. Provides typed and wildcard pub/sub implementations.
Provides behavioral guidelines to reduce common LLM coding mistakes, focusing on simplicity, surgical changes, assumption surfacing, and verifiable success criteria.
