I’m excited to say that the project I’ve been working on the last year is now released as OpenSource (MIT license). DataHem is a serverless real-time end-2-end ML pipeline built entirely on GoogleCloud Platform services - AppEngine, PubSub, Dataflow, BigQuery, Cloud ML Engine, Deployment Manager, Cloud Build and Cloud Composer. When building ML/Data products, your most valuable asset is your data. Hence, the purpose of DataHem is to give you:...

In this post I’ve tried to collect different training resources that I’ve found useful for myself, some for free and some for a fee. The focus is using BigQuery for digital analytics. If you are one of the lucky digital analysts who work for an organisation with the 360 version of Google Analytics or Firebase Blaze, but not started using BigQuery? Then, don’t wait for it, enable the BigQuery Export (read this post if you are acting in EU) and learn how to use BigQuery....
