Do you want a quick and simple way to transfer data from GCP PostgreSQL to Google BigQuery? If yes, then you can migrate your data with an efficient ETL tool: Daton.

Businesses need to utilize their data to make data-driven decisions and stay ahead of increasing competition. The data from different tools require fast and secured storage. But the cost to build and maintain a scalable and secure physical storage solution is a lot. So, now the companies are using cloud databases like PostgreSQL. Although, extracting, replicating and managing data from these databases is complex. Hence cloud platforms like Google Cloud Platform (GCP) have made a solution to handle PostgreSQL databases. GCP PostgreSQL provides easy access and control on your PostgreSQL database.

Nowadays, companies are reducing the time & effort of reporting and analyzing their business data from several databases and cloud storage. They use ETL tools like Daton to replicate data from these Cloud platforms to data warehouses like Google BigQuery, where analysts get a consolidated view for faster and more accurate reporting.

 

Why integrate GCP PostgreSQL to Google BigQuery

Data savvy enterprises use cloud storage solutions like Google Cloud Platform to manage their databases. These storage solutions help collaboration and data consolidation, especially when multiple teams work in several offices across the globe. You will get automatic database replication, backing by secure servers, and reduced data loss and theft. Combine data from GCP PostgreSQL with other databases like COGS, Amazon Aurora, sales sheets to simplify data analysis and reporting. However, manual data integration is complex and time-consuming, often creating inaccurate reports. Thus, companies resort to ETL tools like Daton to transfer data from GCP PostgreSQL to Google BigQuery. It is a highly automated ETL Tool that easily replicates data from several data sources to cloud data warehouses without coding.

 

GCP PostgreSQL Overview

GCP PostgreSQL is a fully-managed database service that helps you set up and maintain PostgreSQL databases on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It provides standard features like high availability with automatic failover, a rich API, encryption at rest and in transit, automatic backups, and advanced logging, and monitoring. GCP PostgreSQL runs on Google’s Second-Generation computing platform. Databases running on the Second-Generation platform are 7x faster and have 20x more storage capacity. GCP PostgreSQL also ensures high availability using low-level storage data synchronization using regional persistent disks.

 

Google Bigquery Overview

Google BigQuery is the first serverless data warehouse service that was available in the market. A database administrator architects the schema and optimize the partitions for performance and cost in a Google BigQuery environment. This cloud service automatically scales to fulfill any demands of a query. Google BigQuery service offers an excellent pricing model based on the amount of data processed by incoming queries, not on the storage or the compute capacity for processing queries. The best part about using Google BigQuery is that you can instantly load data to the service as soon as you start using it. The primary requirements are a mechanism to load data into the data warehouse and the ability to write SQL queries.

 

How to Replicate GCP PostgreSQL to Google BigQuery

There are two ways in which you can replicate GCP PostgreSQL to Google BigQuery warehouse.

Build Your data pipeline – Building an in-house data pipeline needs a lot of experience, time and manpower with higher chances of errors. You need to extract data using GCP PostgreSQL APIs & then connect it properly with the Google BigQuery data warehouse.

Use Daton to integrate GCP PostgreSQL & Google BigQuery – Using Daton to integrate GCP PostgreSQL & Google BigQuery is the fastest & easiest way to save your time and efforts. Leveraging a cloud data pipeline like Daton simplifies and accelerates the time to build automated reporting to a great extent.

Configuring data replication on Daton only takes a few minutes and a few clicks. Analysts do not have to write any code or manage any infrastructure, yet they can get access to their Amazon ads data in a few hours. Daton’s simple and easy to use interface allows analysts and developers to use UI elements to configure data replication from GCP PostgreSQL data into Google BigQuery.

Daton Takes Care of:

  • Authentication
  • Rate limits,
  • Table creation, deletion & reloads
  • Refreshing access tokens,
  • Sampling,
  • Historical data load,
  • Incremental data load,
  • Notifications

and many more important functions for data analysts to focus on analysis rather than worry about the data replication process.

 

Steps to Integrate GCP PostgreSQL with Daton

Daton - The Data Replication Superhero
  • Sign in to Daton
