Datastore is too slow for this kind of data, no way that's a good option.

I have a vague memory of Google Cloud Datastore being good for NoSQL, but I wonder if it can handle the click data's volume as well as Bigtable. I guess I need to think this through more.

I practiced a similar question where we had to choose between storage options for real-time data. I think Google Cloud Storage is more for unstructured data, so it might not be the best fit here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like Google Cloud SQL could struggle with the burst rates mentioned. It seems more suited for transactional data rather than streaming analytics.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The high ingestion rate is a key factor, but I'll also need to think about the analysis needs of the data science and UX teams. Maybe Google Cloud Storage could work?
