Building a Scalable And Cost-Efficient BigQuery Platform: Architecture, Practices & Lessons

As data platforms evolve from proof-of-concept pipelines to business-critical systems, scaling BigQuery requires more than writing efficient SQL. Without the right architectural choices, governance, and monitoring, organizations often face unpredictable costs, query slowdowns, and operational instability.

This blog outlines a set of platform-level engineering decisions and best practices adopted to run BigQuery at scale—focused on performance, cost optimization, security and observability. Each practice is backed by real-world implementation examples. Continue reading “Building a Scalable And Cost-Efficient BigQuery Platform: Architecture, Practices & Lessons”

How to Optimize Amazon Redshift for Faster and Seamless Data Migration

When it comes to handling massive datasets, choosing the right approach can make or break your system’s performance. In this blog, I’ll take you through the first half of my Proof of Concept (PoC) journey—preparing data in Amazon Redshift for migration to Google BigQuery. From setting up Redshift to crafting an efficient data ingestion pipeline, this was a hands-on experience that taught me a lot about Redshift’s power (and quirks). Let’s dive into the details, and I promise it won’t be boring!
