Data Transformation with Google Cloud
The value of data, and Google Cloud’s databases, data warehousing, and analytics products.
Data is a strategic asset: organizations turn raw data into information and insight to make better decisions. Google Cloud distinguishes structured (tables) from unstructured (images, video, text) data, and transactional (OLTP) from analytical (OLAP) workloads.
Managed databases: Cloud SQL (managed MySQL/PostgreSQL/SQL Server), Spanner (globally distributed relational), Firestore/Bigtable (NoSQL), and Memorystore (in-memory cache). Choosing the right database depends on structure, scale, and consistency needs.
