GCP Background Function and pub sub configurable retry is not configurable terrible decision what are the alternatives

Question

Since configurable retry does not work between CloudFunction and Pub/Sub how do you guys usually manage your retry ? Could not find any way to delay the retry. Really seems like a terrible limitation of GCP Cloud Function [...]

Answer 1

If you want to use configurable retry on a subscription with Cloud Functions, then set up an HTTP-based trigger and use the trigger URL as the push endpoint in a subscription you create separately. When you create that subscription, you can enable the retry policy or any other properties not exposed in subscriptions created directly via Cloud Functions.
