All cloud architects need to know how to build data platforms that enable businesses to make data-driven decisions and deliver enterprise-wide intelligence in a fast and efficient way. This handbook shows you how to design, build, and modernize cloud native data and machine learning platforms using AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and multicloud tools like Snowflake and Databricks. Authors Marco Tranquillin, Valliappa Lakshmanan, and Firat Tekiner cover the entire data lifecycle from ingestion to activation in a cloud environment using real-world enterprise architectures. You'll learn how to transform, secure, and modernize familiar solutions like data warehouses and data lakes, and you'll be able to leverage recent AI/ML patterns to get accurate and quicker insights to drive competitive advantage. You'll learn how to: Design a modern and secure cloud native or hybrid data analytics and machine learning platform Accelerate data-led innovation by consolidating enterprise data in a governed, scalable, and resilient data platform Democratize access to enterprise data and govern how business teams extract insights and build AI/ML capabilities Enable your business to make decisions in real time using streaming pipelines Build an MLOps platform to move to a predictive and prescriptive analytics approach

Work with petabyte-scale datasets while building a collaborative, agile workplace in the process. This practical book is the canonical reference to Google BigQuery, the query engine that lets you conduct interactive analysis of large datasets. BigQuery enables enterprises to efficiently store, query, ingest, and learn from their data in a convenient framework. With this book, you’ll examine how to analyze data at scale to derive insights from large datasets efficiently. Valliappa Lakshmanan, tech lead for Google Cloud Platform, and Jordan Tigani, engineering director for the BigQuery team, provide best practices for modern data warehousing within an autoscaled, serverless public cloud. Whether you want to explore parts of BigQuery you’re not familiar with or prefer to focus on specific tasks, this reference is indispensable.
