Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 40

Your organization is developing an application that will manage payments and online bank accounts located around the world. The most critical requirement for your database is that each transaction is handled consistently. Your organization anticipates almost unlimited growth in the amount of data stored.
Which Google Cloud product should your organization choose?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Cloud Spanner is designed to handle high scalability and ensure strong consistency across transactions, making it ideal for applications with critical consistency requirements. Cloud SQL is more suited for smaller workloads and lacks the scalability needed for unlimited growth. Cloud Storage is primarily for unstructured data storage and does not provide transaction management. Firestore, while scalable, does not guarantee the same level of consistency for transactions as Cloud Spanner does.
