Which process is capable of dynamic topology changes?

The dynamic topology changes refer to the ability to alter the structure or configuration of a system based on various factors, such as load, performance, or infrastructure changes. VizQL (Visualization Query Language) serves as the foundation for how Tableau queries and renders data visualizations.

VizQL translates user interactions with the Tableau interface into queries that pull data from the database and then builds visualizations based on that data. It is closely tied to how Tableau performs and optimizes the rendering of visualizations dynamically, which can involve adjusting to new data sources or changes in user interactions. This capacity to flexibly respond to changes effectively gives VizQL the capability for dynamic updating and topology changes in response to user demands.

The other choices pertain to specific functions within the Tableau ecosystem but are not associated with dynamic changes in topology. Backgrounder is primarily responsible for running scheduled tasks and extract refreshes but does not handle dynamic changes in the visualization process. The Metrics Service is related to performance monitoring and metrics tracking and does not influence the rendering or querying processes. The Gateway functions as the entry point for all requests sent to Tableau Server, managing communication but not directly handling the visualization dynamics.

Thus, VizQL's role in managing data interactions and providing visual feedback makes it the correct answer
