Actual exam question for Google's Associate-Cloud-Engineer exam
Question #: 279
Topic #: 4
Your team is building a website that handles votes from a large user population. The incoming votes will arrive at various rates. You want to optimize the storage and processing of the votes. What should you do?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

Pub/Sub is a scalable and reliable messaging service that can handle large volumes of data from different sources at different rates. It allows you to decouple the producers and consumers of the data, and provides a durable and persistent storage for the messages until they are delivered. Cloud Functions is a serverless platform that can execute code in response to events, such as messages published to a Pub/Sub topic. It can scale automatically based on the load, and you only pay for the resources you use. By using Pub/Sub and Cloud Functions, you can optimize the storage and processing of the votes, as you can handle the variable rates of incoming votes, process them in real time or near real time, and avoid managing servers or VMs. References:
