B. Use the existing infrastructure to test the GCP-based backend at scale.
C. Build stress tests into each component of your application using resources internal to GCP to
simulate load.
D. Create a set of static environments in GCP to test different levels of load — for example, high,
medium, and low.

Answer: A

Explanation:
From scenario: Requirements for Game Backend Platform

A real time requires Stream / Messaging so Pub/Sub, Analytics by Big Query.
Explanation:
Ingest millions of streaming events per second from anywhere in the world with Cloud Pub/Sub,
powered by Google's unique, high-speed private network. Process the streams with Cloud Dataflow
to ensure reliable, exactly-once, low-latency data transformation. Stream the transformed data into
BigQuery, the cloud-native data warehousing service, for immediate analysis via SQL or popular
visualization tools.
From scenario: They plan to deploy the game’s backend on Google Compute Engine so they can
capture streaming metrics, run intensive analytics.
Requirements for Game Analytics Platform
• Dynamically scale up or down based on game activity
• Process incoming data on the fly directly from the game servers
