Technology
GCP
Google Cloud, our most common recommendation for teams building a new analytics stack from scratch, largely because of BigQuery.
Our Experience
How we typically use it
We default toward GCP for greenfield analytics builds because BigQuery, Looker Studio, and GCP's data tooling integrate tightly with minimal glue code.
Implementation Patterns
Where it fits
- BigQuery as the central warehouse
- Cloud Storage as the pipeline landing zone
- Cloud Composer (managed Airflow) for orchestration
FAQs
Common questions
- Do you only recommend GCP?
