This app sends events from PostHog to a Google Cloud Pub/Sub topic when they are ingested. It's used by teams such as Vendasta.
Requirements
The Pub/Sub Connector requires either PostHog Cloud, or a self-hosted PostHog instance running version 1.30.0 or later.

You'll also need a Google Cloud Pub/Sub account to connect to.
