Original practice question

This is the kind of decision CramHQ checks.

Sample question Compute architecture

CramHQ needs a compute design for a queue-backed validation step in its government data collaboration SaaS. Each export invokes an agency-specific validator with native dependencies, unpredictable bursts, and runs that commonly last 25-45 minutes. Auditors require a run to finish in an isolated worker that is discarded before another agency's export is processed. The team wants no idle compute between bursts. Which recommendation best fits this workload?

  • Use Azure Functions Flex Consumption plan with queue triggers, deploy validators as function code, and configure functionTimeout above the longest normal validation run.
  • Use Azure Functions Premium plan with queue triggers, package validators in a custom Linux container, and set functionTimeout above the longest normal validation run.
  • Use Azure Container Apps jobs with an event-driven trigger, package validators as container images, and set replica timeout above the longest normal validation run.Correct
  • Use Azure Container Apps with a queue-based scale rule, run validator containers as replicas, and scale replicas to zero when the queue is empty.
Why this is the answer

The design turns on whether each work item needs its own lifecycle boundary. Azure Container Apps jobs start executions from events and stop them when finite work completes, which fits native dependencies, burst scaling, no idle compute, and a discarded worker per export.
