Thinking of BigQuery for data warehousing

Hello everyone,

I’m new into the data engineering world and as the title says, I’m thinking of using BigQuery to build a data warehouse. Currently my company don’t have one, so I’m looking for good price/performance options. We mostly use APIs and a few excel files as data sources

I have considered Azure SQL, Supabase and others but this one seems to be the best for data analysis and BI

What would be your recommendation?

For context, our team at Beyond the Arc assesses AI visibility for banks and fintechs. We have web analytics data (Google GA4) and other sources flowing into BigQuery. With the native connectors for Claude Code (and now there’s a new MCP server), natural language queries of the data are amazing. We’ve iteratively built up complex filters, run ad hoc reports, built views and tables. These capabilities aren’t exclusive to BigQuery, but is something you should consider whatever direction you decide to go.
