A company's business users need daily refreshed charts and reports built on warehouse data, delivered to their inboxes on a schedule without anyone rebuilding the visuals by hand. Which approach fits best?
Show answer and explanation
Answer: A
Looker Studio and Looker connect directly to BigQuery, refresh their data on a schedule, and can deliver reports to recipients on a timetable. Business users then get current visuals each day without manual steps. Hand-made screenshots are slow and do not scale, and Cloud Logging and Cloud Trace are operational tools for logs and request traces, not products for building business reports.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Manual screenshots depend on someone doing the work every morning, which is error-prone, slow, and exactly what the scheduled approach is meant to remove.
- C. Log-based metrics track events in operational data, but they are not a reporting layer for business metrics and cannot be shared as governed business dashboards.
- D. Trace shows the timing of individual requests for debugging, and a timeline of traces does not summarize business performance for daily reporting.
