Read and write with Google BigTable?

[warrencowan]

Hey all,

We are looking at using Google BigTable ( https://cloud.google.com/bigtable/ ) as a possible NOSQL database platform for our data and will need to write to and read from it in our alteryx processes. Have looked at MongoDB originally, and I know Alteryx has a strong connector for this, however the prospect of having the data closer to the many functions within Google Cloud is quite appealing (if the spiel is to be believed).

Does anyone have any experience in how this might work in terms of the right input and output tools. I know there are big query connectors but this seems apart from that. At least at first look.

Anyone have any views or experiences they can share on this.

Mnay thanks in advance

I think the connectors will to be a resource for you.  The other (maybe better) path you can investigate/prove out is to create an ODBC connection to it. That should be faster than the connectors.

Hope this helps! If it does please mark as solved so others can see it on the community!

Thanks
