## Trade-offs

| Pros                           | Cons                 |
|--------------------------------|----------------------|
| Reliable Pub/Sub delivery      | Pub/Sub costs        |
| Filter at sink (reduce volume) | Alloy infrastructure |
| Workload identity              | Setup complexity     |
| Full processing pipeline       |                      |
