Data analysts and engineers requiring a solution to build, test, document, and orchestrate production-ready BigQuery data pipelines
About Dataform
Dataform enables data analysts and data engineers to develop and operationalize scalable data transformation pipelines in BigQuery using only SQL from a single, unified environment. Its open source core language lets teams define table schemas, configure dependencies, add column descriptions, and set up data quality assertions within a shared code repository while applying software development best practices, version control, environments, testing, and documentation. A fully managed, serverless orchestration layer automatically handles workflow dependencies, tracks lineage, and executes SQL pipelines on demand or via schedules in Cloud Composer, Workflows, BigQuery Studio, or third-party services. In the browser-based development interface, users get real-time error feedback, visualize dependency graphs, connect to GitHub or GitLab for commits and code reviews, and launch production-grade pipelines in minutes without leaving BigQuery Studio.

Let different departments choose different analytics environments without having to deploy new agents or forwarders. As much as 50% of log and metric data goes unused – null fields, duplicate data, and fields that offer zero analytical value. With Cribl Stream, you can trim wasted data streams and analyze only what you need. Cribl Stream is the best way to get multiple data formats into the tools you trust for your Security and IT efforts. Use the Cribl Stream universal receiver to collect from any machine data source - and even to schedule batch collection from REST APIs, Kinesis Firehose, Raw HTTP, and Microsoft Office 365 APIs
