GCP Professional Data Engineer Practice Question

Your media company streams click-level events from a Pub/Sub topic into a data processing pipeline. Analysts must run SQL-based, ad-hoc queries that join 18 months (≈300 TB) of event data with several dimension tables and feed Looker Studio dashboards that refresh every few minutes. The solution must minimize operational overhead, enforce column-level security, and scale storage and compute independently. Which Google Cloud service should you choose as the primary data sink?

  • Cloud Storage bucket queried by an on-demand Dataproc Spark cluster

  • BigQuery

  • Cloud Bigtable

  • Cloud Spanner
