Description

Google's Data Cloud is a unified platform for the entire data lifecycle, from streaming with Managed Kafka, to ML feature creation in BigQuery, to global deployment via Bigtable. In this talk, we’ll give you a behind the scenes look at how Spotify's recommendation engine team uses Google's Data Cloud for their feature pipelines. Plus, we will demonstrate BigQuery AI Query Engine and how it streamlines feature development and testing. Finally, we'll explore new Bigtable capabilities that simplify application deployment and monitoring.
