Pull Queue Deprecation?

[Jim]

I have an app running on Google App Engine Standard using the Java 8 runtime, and it uses both push and pull queues extensively.  When I'm using the Google Cloud Platform management console I interact with my Push and Pull Queues under the "Cloud Tasks" UI option, but all of my code interaction with queues is via the com.google.appengine.api.taskqueue Java package.  Lately I'm seeing notices about Google Cloud Tasks Pull Queues being deprecated.  Can someone in the GAE team please clarify for me, will my usage of Pull Queues be supported going forward?

App Engine Tasks (available for App Engine Standard Gen 1 runtimes) will continue to support both push and pull, but Cloud Tasks (available for all products) will not support pull queues. Instead, we recommend Cloud Pub/Sub for this use case. Please see this documentation for details: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java/taskqueue/pull/migrating-pull-queues

Please let us know if Cloud Pub/Sub doesn't solve your needs in this area, so we can improve our decisions for future features.

Andrew, thank you for that info.  It looks like I'm good for now but will need to migrate to Cloud Pub/Sub before moving to Java 11.  My basic Use Case is that I'm using Pull Queues to sync data between my cloud application and mobile apps.  Tag-names corresponding to the individual mobile devices are used to route data to the right recipient.  Reviewing the doc you linked, it looks like I can create Pub/Sub Topics for each mobile app/device and achieve the same basic interaction model.
