Why integrate Mixpanel to BigQuery?

If you’re using Mixpanel, you know that it can provide data on user activity as long as your team is willing to invest engineering resources to fully implement it. It’s especially good for companies that want to examine the results of large campaigns with many small events or microtransactions. However, the platform has some significant limitations like its historical data is siloed.

Integrating your Mixpanel data to BigQuery will allow you to have centralized storage for your data so none of the data sits untapped. Also, Mixpanel BigQuery integration will allow you to combine this data with data from other sources for in-depth analysis. Integrate your Mixpanel data to BigQuery to unearth insights that can help you make smarter decisions, optimize processes, and serve customers better.

How to replicate Mixpanel to BigQuery?

Here’s an overview of the two approaches you can use to replicate Mixpanel data to BigQuery. This will allow you to evaluate the pros and cons of both and choose the one that best suits your requirement.

Build your own data pipeline

This process needs a lot of experience and consumes a lot of time and manpower. The chances of errors are more due to multiple integrated steps to be executed one after the other. You need to extract data using Mixpanel APIs & then connect it properly with the BigQuery data warehouse. This whole process to build a custom data pipeline requires regular intervention that makes it cumbersome.
