A fintech firm ingests millions of market-data events per second through Pub/Sub and Dataflow. Trading engines must fetch the latest two hours of tick data with sub-10 ms latency during market hours, while quants run daily SQL analyses across seven years of historical ticks with minimal operational overhead. Which Google Cloud storage design best aligns with these distinct access patterns?
Store all tick data in Spanner with regional nodes for the trading engines and read replicas for analytics.
Write ticks to Cloud Storage in Parquet format and query them via BigQuery external tables for both real-time and historical needs.
Persist all ticks solely in BigQuery and rely on materialized views for the trading engines.
Stream ticks into Bigtable for the most recent hours and replicate all events into BigQuery for historical analytics.
Storing the hot, high-velocity portion in Bigtable satisfies the sub-10 ms latency requirement and supports massive write throughput typical of time-series workloads. Persisting the full data stream to BigQuery enables cost-effective, serverless SQL analytics over petabytes without impacting the trading engines. Cloud Storage and Firestore do not provide millisecond-level reads at this scale, and Spanner is optimized for relational transactions, not analytical scans of terabytes.
