Managed BigQuery
Fivetran offers a managed warehouse service to make it even easier to get your data stack up and running. We use Google BigQuery when we setup and maintain your data warehouse.
Users often find this service beneficial in the following scenarios:
- Trial sandbox account or pilot program
- Minimize vendor contracts
- Offload management of their warehouse
