Google Cloud Professional Cloud Developer — Question 277

You are developing an application that uses microservices architecture that includes Cloud Run, Bigtable, and Pub/Sub. You want to conduct the testing and debugging process as quickly as possible to create a minimally viable product with minimal cost. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Use Cloud Shell Editor and Cloud Shell to deploy the application, and test the functionality by using the Google Cloud console in the project.
• B. Use emulators to test the functionality of cloud resources locally, and deploy the code to your Google Cloud project.
• C. Use Cloud Build to create a pipeline, and add the unit testing stage and the manual approval stage. Deploy the code to your Google Cloud project.
• D. Use Cloud Code to develop, deploy, and test microservices resources. Use Cloud Logging to review the resource logs.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because using emulators allows you to test the functionality of cloud resources locally, which is faster and more cost-effective for developing a minimally viable product. The other options, while useful, either involve more complex deployment processes or do not focus on local testing, which can slow down the development cycle.
