Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect — Question 97
You have been asked to select the storage system for the click-data of your company's large portfolio of websites. This data is streamed in from a custom website analytics package at a typical rate of 6,000 clicks per minute. With bursts of up to 8,500 clicks per second. It must have been stored for future analysis by your data science and user experience teams.
Which storage infrastructure should you choose?
Answer options
- A. Google Cloud SQL
- B. Google Cloud Bigtable
- C. Google Cloud Storage
- D. Google Cloud Datastore
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Google Cloud Bigtable is the best choice for handling high-velocity data streams like click-data due to its ability to scale horizontally and manage large amounts of data efficiently. Other options, such as Google Cloud SQL, are not designed for high-write throughput, while Google Cloud Storage and Google Cloud Datastore may not provide the optimal performance for real-time analytics required in this scenario.
