Question

You are developing an internet of things (IoT) application that captures sensor data from multiple devices that have already been set up. You need to identify the global data storage product your company should use to store this data. You must ensure that the storage solution you choose meets your requirements of sub-millisecond latency. What should you do?

Options

  • AStore the IoT data in Spanner. Use caches to speed up the process and avoid latencies.
  • BStore the IoT data in Bigtable.
  • CCapture IoT data in BigQuery datasets.
  • DStore the IoT data in Cloud Storage. Implement caching by using Cloud CDN.

Explanation

Bigtable: Bigtable is a highly scalable NoSQL database service designed for low-latency, high- throughput workloads. It excels at storing and retrieving large volumes of time-series data, which is typical for IoT sensor data. Its architecture is optimized for single-key lookups and scans, providing consistent sub-millisecond latency, making it a strong candidate for this use case.
