Org & Folder Foundation
Resource Manager hierarchy, folder-scoped policy, billing-account discipline. The boring foundation that survives every reorg.
Org · Folder · PolicyBigQuery, Vertex AI and Gemini, GKE Autopilot, Spanner. Google Cloud's sharp edge is data and ML — we wire it the way Google's own SREs would, with the FinOps to keep BigQuery from becoming BigBill.
Google Cloud's edge isn't breadth — it's a few things done unusually well. We focus where it wins, and tell you honestly where it doesn't.

Org · Folder · PolicySlot reservations + on-demand for spikes, partitioning & clustering as a first-class concern, BigLake for the long tail in GCS.
BigQuery · BigLake · BI EngineEnd-to-end MLOps on Vertex — training, registry, online & batch prediction, evaluation. Gemini for generative use cases that live next to your data.
Vertex · Gemini · Model GardenAutopilot for the workloads that just want a pod, Cloud Run for HTTP services that should be invisible. Less cluster-management, more shipping.
GKE · Autopilot · Cloud RunVPC Service Controls drawing perimeter around your data, SCC Enterprise for posture, Workload Identity Federation everywhere.
SCC · VPC-SC · WIF · CMEKSlot autoscaling, query cost guardrails, reservation modeling, scheduled query review. Per-team chargeback in Looker, not in a spreadsheet.
Slot Mgmt · Reservations · QuotaPub/Sub at the edge, Dataflow in the middle, BigQuery at the warehouse. Vertex on top, Looker on the side. Streamed, tested, observable, billed by the team that owns it.
The GCP pipeline does what its competitors can do — with less Lego. Pub/Sub feeds Dataflow, Dataflow lands BigQuery, BigQuery serves Looker, Vertex and Cloud Run. Same SQL surface from the developer to the BI analyst.
Analysts, engineers and ML scientists all write in BigQuery SQL. Less translation tax, less drift.
Predictable cost for the baseline, elastic on-demand for the spikes. Per-team chargeback at the project level.
Training, registry, online & batch — all serverless, all callable from a notebook or a CI job.
LookML in version control. Metrics defined once, consumed by BI, Vertex and embedded apps.
The services we've shipped at scale — and a few we'll happily talk you out of.
Three quick takes from the last twelve months.
Slot reservations + autoscaling, per-team chargeback dashboards in Looker, query cost guardrails enforced at the org level.
Doc parsing on Vertex, PHI redaction with DLP, evaluation harness in CI. Models retrained weekly, drift visible in Cloud Monitoring.
Migration from sharded MySQL to Spanner. Linear scale, strong consistency, no shard maintenance. The control-plane outages stopped.
