Strategic Roadmap

To address growing data volume and cost concerns, we focused on accelerating ETL pipelines using serverless architectures that eliminate the need for dedicated infrastructure. Optimizing BigQuery with partitioning and clustering strategies minimized compute and storage expenses. Automation of repetitive data tasks streamlined workflows, reducing manual effort and error risk. This approach ensures scalable, cost-effective data processing, enabling faster insights and better resource utilization to support business growth and agility.

Execution Approach

Optimized ETL Architecture for Scalability and Cost Efficiency

We containerized ETL jobs using Docker, deploying them on Cloud Run to leverage serverless scalability and reduce infrastructure overhead. BigQuery tables were optimized through partitioning and clustering, significantly lowering query costs and improving performance.

Google Workspace data workflows were automated using App Script, eliminating manual steps and streamlining operations. Additionally, Dataform was employed to manage complex data transformation logic, ensuring maintainable, reusable SQL pipelines.

This combination of technologies resulted in a robust, scalable, and cost-effective data processing system that accelerates analytics delivery while minimizing operational expenses.
