A retail company is designing an event-driven architecture to process user interactions across its e-commerce website in real time. The solution must satisfy the following technical requirements:
Which architecture should the company implement?
Cloud Pub/Sub is a globally distributed, fully managed, asynchronous messaging service designed to ingest and distribute high-throughput event streams with latencies typically around 100 milliseconds. Dataflow is a serverless, managed stream and batch data processing service built on Apache Beam, providing native support for complex transformations, stateful windowing, and streaming data sinks.
Combining Cloud Pub/Sub with Dataflow represents Google Cloud's premier reference architecture for real-time streaming analytics. It delivers end-to-end low latency, robust state management for time-based metrics, and elastic scalability without infrastructure maintenance.
