Workflows orchestrating serverless steps

Larchmont Insurance's claim intake calls four services in order: a Cloud Run validation service, a Document AI processor, a fraud-scoring API and a notification service, with retries and a conditional branch for high-risk claims. The process must run every 15 minutes. Which TWO services should the architect combine? (Select TWO.)

  1. A.Managed Service for Apache Airflow (formerly Cloud Composer) with an environment for one small process
  2. B.Workflows to define the ordered steps, retries and conditional branch
  3. C.Dataflow streaming pipelines for each step of the claim process
  4. D.Cloud Tasks queues chained manually between each pair of services
  5. E.Cloud Scheduler to start the workflow every 15 minutes
Show answer and explanation

Correct answers: B. Workflows to define the ordered steps, retries and conditional branch · E. Cloud Scheduler to start the workflow every 15 minutes

Why: Workflows orchestrates service and API calls with built-in retries, conditions and error handling, and Cloud Scheduler can trigger a workflow on a fixed schedule. Chaining Cloud Tasks queues spreads the logic across services and makes the flow hard to follow. Dataflow is for data processing pipelines, and a managed Airflow environment is heavyweight for a single small process.
