 relevant information about a topic. In addition, the Pub Sub Service returns the dynamically
 generated topic and necessary broker information for a publisher to use to serve their data. A

-(topic name, broker information, etc.) for that data.
+subscriber can interact with the publisher to get the necessary subscription information

+One reason you may want to follow this pattern is that it allows for the publisher to create topics
