Actual exam question for Google's Associate-Data-Practitioner exam
Question #: 48
Topic #: 1
Your organization sends IoT event data to a Pub/Sub topic. Subscriber applications read and perform transformations on the messages before storing them in the data warehouse. During particularly busy times when more data is being written to the topic, you notice that the subscriber applications are not acknowledging messages within the deadline. You need to modify your pipeline to handle these activity spikes and continue to process the messages. What should you do?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

Implementing flow control on the subscribers allows the subscriber applications to manage message processing during activity spikes by controlling the rate at which messages are pulled and processed. This prevents overwhelming the subscribers and ensures that messages are acknowledged within the deadline. Flow control helps maintain the stability of your pipeline during high-traffic periods without dropping or delaying messages unnecessarily.
