Cloud Platforms · 03 of 04 · GCP

The cloud for when the workload is analytical.

BigQuery, 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.

What we deliver on Google Cloud

BigQuery + Vertex + GKE — the real sweet spot.

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 Foundation

Resource Manager hierarchy, folder-scoped policy, billing-account discipline. The boring foundation that survives every reorg.

Org · Folder · Policy

BigQuery as the platform

Slot reservations + on-demand for spikes, partitioning & clustering as a first-class concern, BigLake for the long tail in GCS.

BigQuery · BigLake · BI Engine

Vertex AI & Gemini

End-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 Garden

GKE Autopilot & Cloud Run

Autopilot 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 Run

Security & SCC

VPC Service Controls drawing perimeter around your data, SCC Enterprise for posture, Workload Identity Federation everywhere.

BigQuery FinOps

Slot autoscaling, query cost guardrails, reservation modeling, scheduled query review. Per-team chargeback in Looker, not in a spreadsheet.

Reference Data Pipeline

From stream to insight, in one project.

Pub/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.

One project. Five integrations. Zero Rube Goldberg.

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.

  • 1
    One SQL dialect, everywhere

    Analysts, engineers and ML scientists all write in BigQuery SQL. Less translation tax, less drift.

  • 2
    Slot reservations + on-demand

    Predictable cost for the baseline, elastic on-demand for the spikes. Per-team chargeback at the project level.

  • 3
    Vertex pipelines for ML

    Training, registry, online & batch — all serverless, all callable from a notebook or a CI job.

  • 4
    Looker as the semantic layer

    LookML in version control. Metrics defined once, consumed by BI, Vertex and embedded apps.

The Google Cloud surface we live in

Sharp where it's sharp. Honest where it isn't.

The services we've shipped at scale — and a few we'll happily talk you out of.
