Stable GCP PubSub API for Golang

We have an infrastructure where we use GCP Pubsub as a global pubsub and redis as a local pubsub.

Therefore we should create a component that would subscribe to GCP pubsub and publish incoming messages to redis.

To make that component as fast as possible we have decided to write it in Go because:

  1. It compiles
  2. It runs nativly on Linux (as opposed to .NET)
  3. It's really fast while keeping simplicity (as opposed to C/C++)

Everything was fine and we were ready to GO (pun intended) but then I saw this:

enter image description here

It seems that there is no stable GCP Pubsub API for Golang.
Can I really rely on experimental version to run in production?

What should I do instead? Maybe Golang is not necessary for this task?

Thank you

It's hard to tell for sure but I personally do not read experimental as unstable. Experimental usually means that the library APIs might change going forward in non-backwards compatible way (i.e. you might need to rewrite your app if you want to upgrade) but it does not mean that the library is unstable. I suggest that you run your performance and stability tests and convince yourself that it is indeed stable.
