+// Package gocdk_pub_sub supports the Go CDK (Cloud Development Kit) PubSub API,
+// which in turn supports many providers, including Amazon SNS/SQS, Azure Service Bus,
+// Google Cloud PubSub, and RabbitMQ.
+//
+// In the config, select a provider and topic using a URL. See
+// https://godoc.org/gocloud.dev/pubsub and its sub-packages for details.
+//
+// The Go CDK PubSub API does not support administrative operations like topic
+// creation. Create the topic using a UI, CLI or provider-specific API before running
+// weed.
+//
+// The Go CDK obtains credentials via environment variables and other
+// provider-specific default mechanisms. See the provider's documentation for
+// details.
