FRANCOIS AJENSTAT: At Tableau, our mission is simple.
It's to help people see and understand their data.
So the Google Cloud Platform really helps a company like
Tableau analyze billions of records of data at internet
scale with simple point and click operations.
All you need to focus on is putting your data on the
Google Cloud Platform, and Google takes care of the rest.
So you can focus on the core aspects of your business
rather than managing all that infrastructure.
MOMCHIL KYURKCHIEV: So we are Leanplum, and we're building a
platform to optimize the mission critical metrics of
your mobile app.
We're a young company, less than a year old.
And so for us, building a minimum viable
product is very important.
So we start with something small, and then we upgrade it.
I think App Engine is designed exactly for this use case.
I'm always surprised by how fast mobile has managed to
penetrate in our lives and the amount of
data that we collect.
FRANCOIS AJENSTAT: We can connect with Tableau to Google
BigQuery as well as Google Analytics.
And Google BigQuery, as part of the Google Cloud Platform,
really helps us analyze millions and billions of
records in a way that was never possible before.
ANDREW FIST: BigQuery allowed us to analyze large data sets
in very little amount of time, and that's great when you're
building an Analytics product.
And it's also great when you're a startup, and you
don't have the ability to reserve tons and tons of
instances, because you get them all, on
demand, within seconds.
FRANCOIS AJENSTAT: So if you think about the traditional
environment, companies have to install lots of servers, lots
of software on premise.
They'll build Hadoop stacks with thousands and thousands
of servers that are really, really hard to manage.
Now, the beauty of the Google Cloud Platform is that it
makes all of that irrelevant.
So slow moving, painful, expensive, complicated, to
fast, nimble, and responsive, is really that difference
between the old way and the Google Cloud Platform way.
