Question

You are building a data warehouse on BigQuery. Sources of data include several MySQL databases located on-premises. You need to transfer data from these databases into BigQuery for analytics. You want to use a managed solution that has low latency and is easy to set up. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Use Datastream to connect to your on-premises database and create a stream. Have Datastream write to Cloud Storage. Then use Dataflow to process the data into BigQuery.

Answer

Create extracts from your on-premises databases periodically, and push these extracts to Cloud Storage. Upload the changes into BigQuery, and merge them with existing tables.

Answer

Use Cloud Data Fusion and scheduled workflows to extract data from MySQL. Transform this data into the appropriate schema, and load this data into your BigQuery database.

Answer

Use Database Migration Service to replicate data to a Cloud SQL for MySQL instance. Create federated tables in BigQuery on top of the replicated instances to transform and load the data into your BigQuery database.
