Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect — Question 98

You want to optimize the performance of an accurate, real-time, weather-charting application. The data comes from 50,000 sensors sending 10 readings a second, in the format of a timestamp and sensor reading.
Where should you store the data?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Google Cloud Bigtable is designed for handling large volumes of data with high throughput, making it ideal for time-series data like sensor readings. In contrast, Google BigQuery is optimized for analytics, Google Cloud SQL is suited for relational data, and Google Cloud Storage is primarily for unstructured data, which may not provide the necessary performance for real-time processing.
