Question

You are the on-call Site Reliability Engineer for a microservice that is deployed to a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Autopilot cluster. Your company runs an online store that publishes order messages to Pub/Sub, and a microservice receives these messages and updates stock information in the warehousing system. A sales event caused an increase in orders, and the stock information is not being updated quickly enough. This is causing a large number of orders to be accepted for products that are out of stock. You check the metrics for the microservice and compare them to typical levels: You need to ensure that the warehouse system accurately reflects product inventory at the time orders are placed and minimize the impact on customers. What should you do?

Options

  • ADecrease the acknowledgment deadline on the subscription.
  • BAdd a virtual queue to the online store that allows typical traffic levels.
  • CIncrease the number of Pod replicas.
  • DIncrease the Pod CPU and memory limits.
