Streaming Analytics — Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect Practice Questions

Streaming analytics refers to the continuous ingestion, processing, and analysis of data as it arrives, rather than in periodic batch jobs, and it is a significant topic on the Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect exam. Google Cloud's streaming analytics stack centers on Pub/Sub for ingestion, Dataflow for transformation, and BigQuery streaming inserts or Bigtable for low-latency storage and query. Architects must understand windowing concepts such as tumbling, sliding, and session windows, as well as how to handle late-arriving data using watermarks and allowed lateness in Apache Beam. The exam presents scenarios involving real-time dashboards, fraud detection, and IoT telemetry where candidates must select and justify the right combination of streaming services.
