Question

Your company is a global financial services provider that processes and analyzes a high volume of credit card transactions in real time for fraud detection. Your analytics team must run complex batch queries on the same transaction data for daily reporting. You need to design a data processing solution that can handle both real-time and batch processing of the transaction data while minimizing operational overhead and infrastructure management. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B, D. The correct answer is B, D. Option B: Use Dataflow to process the streaming data. Option D: Use BigQuery for the batch analytics reports. Google Cloud Batch schedules and runs batch jobs at scale without managing infrastructure. BigQuery is a serverless, petabyte-scale data warehouse for fast SQL analytics with no infrastructure to manage. Dataflow runs serverless Apache Beam pipelines for stream and batch data processing with autoscaling. This option meets the real-time / low-latency performance requirement.
