Question #: 203
Topic #: 9
How should you export approximately 40 million Firestore documents to BigQuery while ensuring fault tolerance, automatic scaling, and the option to apply transformations?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

Dataflow provides a managed runner for Beam pipelines that automatically scales workers to handle very large backfills and it retries failed work units for strong fault tolerance. With Beam you can implement optional transforms to clean or reshape the Firestore documents and then write efficiently to BigQuery using native sinks. This approach is designed for high throughput batch processing and offers robust monitoring and checkpointing so it aligns directly with the scale and reliability needs of exporting tens of millions of records.
