A microservices application is experiencing performance degradation. Users report that certain API requests take over 5 seconds to complete. The architecture consists of an API Gateway, several Cloud Run services, and a Cloud SQL database. Which TWO GCP operations tools should the development team use to identify the bottleneck? (Select TWO)

Answer options:

Cloud Trace

Cloud Profiler

Cloud Audit Logs

VPC Flow Logs

Security Command Center

How to approach this question

Identify the GCP observability tools specifically designed for application performance monitoring (APM).

Full Answer

Cloud Trace, Cloud Profiler

To debug performance in a distributed microservices architecture, you need APM tools. Cloud Trace provides a waterfall view of a request's journey across services, pinpointing network or database latency. Cloud Profiler looks inside the application code to identify functions that are consuming too much CPU or memory.

Common mistakes

Selecting network-level tools like VPC Flow Logs (D) to debug application-level latency.
