A publisher sends messages to a topic, and subscribers receive them through subscriptions. It is built for scale and reliability, and to get that it does not promise by default that messages arrive in the order they were sent. For many uses that is fine. For others it is a serious problem.<\/p>\r\n<p>Imagine a stream of updates to a customer account: an account is opened, money is deposited, then money is withdrawn. If the withdrawal is processed before the deposit, the balance goes wrong. The same issue appears in order tracking, stock changes, event logs and any workflow where each step depends on the last. For these, you want Pub\/Sub to deliver related messages in the order they were published.<\/p>\r\n<p>That is what message ordering does, but it comes with conditions that many tutorials skip. This guide explains how ordering keys work, then shows you how to create an ordered subscription in the console with the original screenshots kept in place and with gcloud. We then test it, and cover the publisher requirements, throughput limits, redelivery behaviour, common mistakes and a short FAQ.<\/p>\r\n<h2><strong><b>How Message Ordering Works?<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Ordering in Pub\/Sub is built on an <strong><b>ordering key<\/b><\/strong>, which is a string you attach to each message when you publish it. A customer ID or an order number works well.<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Messages with the <strong><b>same<\/b><\/strong>ordering key are delivered in the order they were published.<\/li>\r\n<li>Messages with <strong><b>different<\/b><\/strong>keys have no ordering between them. Pub\/Sub can deliver them in any order.<\/li>\r\n<li>Messages with no ordering key are not ordered at all.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>This is the important idea. Ordering is not a global queue. It is a separate ordered line for every key, which is what lets Pub\/Sub keep scaling.<\/p>\r\n<h2><strong><b>Two Halves of the Setup<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<div style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 100%; overflow-x: auto; -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; margin: 20px 0; border: 1px solid #d9e0ea; border-radius: 8px;\">\r\n<table style=\"width: 100%; min-width: 600px; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; color: #1f2937;\"><caption style=\"caption-side: top; text-align: left; padding: 12px 14px; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; color: #0f2a4a;\">Message ordering setup in Pub\/Sub<\/caption>\r\n<thead>\r\n<tr style=\"background: #0f2a4a;\">\r\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 14px; text-align: left; color: #ffffff; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 2px solid #0b1f38; width: 24%;\" scope=\"col\">Side<\/th>\r\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 14px; text-align: left; color: #ffffff; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 2px solid #0b1f38; width: 40%;\" scope=\"col\">What you must do<\/th>\r\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 14px; text-align: left; color: #ffffff; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 2px solid #0b1f38;\" scope=\"col\">Where<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/thead>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr style=\"background: #ffffff;\">\r\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 14px; text-align: left; font-weight: 600; vertical-align: top; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e9f0;\" scope=\"row\">Subscription<\/th>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px; vertical-align: top; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e9f0;\">Turn on message ordering when you create it<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px; vertical-align: top; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e9f0;\">Console or gcloud, covered below<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr style=\"background: #f5f8fc;\">\r\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 14px; text-align: left; font-weight: 600; vertical-align: top; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e9f0;\" scope=\"row\">Publisher<\/th>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px; vertical-align: top; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e9f0;\">Attach an ordering key to every message that needs ordering<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px; vertical-align: top; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e9f0;\">Your publishing code or command<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr style=\"background: #ffffff;\">\r\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 14px; text-align: left; font-weight: 600; vertical-align: top;\" scope=\"row\">Region<\/th>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px; vertical-align: top;\">Publish all messages with the same key in the same region<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px; vertical-align: top;\">Publisher setup<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Subscribers can connect from any region and ordering is still preserved.

If you publish from code, the client library also needs ordering turned on. In Python it looks like this:<\/p>\r\n<p>from google.cloud import pubsub_v1<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>options = pubsub_v1.types.PublisherOptions(enable_message_ordering=True)<\/p>\r\n<p>publisher = pubsub_v1.PublisherClient(<\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0publisher_options=options,<\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0client_options={&#8220;api_endpoint&#8221;: &#8220;us-east1-pubsub.googleapis.com:443&#8221;},<\/p>\r\n<p>)<\/p>\r\n<p>topic_path = publisher.topic_path(&#8220;my-project&#8221;, &#8220;orders-topic&#8221;)<\/p>\r\n<p>future = publisher.publish(topic_path, b&#8221;step 1&#8243;, ordering_key=&#8221;customer-42&#8243;)<\/p>\r\n<p>print(future.result())<\/p>\r\n<p>The regional endpoint matters, because all messages with the same key must be published in the same region. Replace the project and region with your own.<\/p>\r\n<h2><strong><b>Limits and Behaviour You Should Know<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>The setting is permanent: <\/b><\/strong>You cannot turn ordering on or off for an existing subscription. Create a new one.<\/li>\r\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>Throughput per key is capped: <\/b><\/strong>Google states a limit of 1 MBps of publishing throughput for each ordering key. Spread your traffic across many keys.<\/li>\r\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>Redelivery repeats the tail: <\/b><\/strong>Pub\/Sub delivers at least once. If one message is redelivered, later messages for that key are redelivered too, even ones already acknowledged. Make your processing safe to repeat.<\/li>\r\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>Slow acknowledgement blocks a key: <\/b><\/strong>A message that is not acknowledged can hold up later messages with the same key, and may delay other keys. Acknowledge promptly.<\/li>\r\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>Hot keys cause lag: <\/b><\/strong>If one key gets more traffic than a subscriber can handle, its backlog grows. Watch the oldest unacknowledged message age metric.<\/li>\r\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>Keep ordered and unordered traffic apart: <\/b><\/strong>If you need both, use separate topics.<\/li>\r\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>Latency can rise: <\/b><\/strong>Ordering may add delay, so test it against your needs.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><strong><b>Common Mistakes to Avoid<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>Enabling ordering but not setting a key: <\/b><\/strong>Messages without an ordering key are not ordered.<\/li>\r\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>Trying to switch ordering on later: <\/b><\/strong>It must be set when you create the subscription.<\/li>\r\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>Using one key for everything: <\/b><\/strong>That squeezes all traffic through a single key and hits the per key limit.<\/li>\r\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>Publishing the same key from different regions: <\/b><\/strong>Keep each key in one region.<\/li>\r\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>Copying commands with curly quotes or a long dash: <\/b><\/strong>Pasting from a web page can change the double dash before a flag into a single long character.
