Google Cloud

Turn your data into decisions

Data platforms on BigQuery, AI with Vertex AI and Gemini, and apps on Cloud Run and GKE — designed, built and run by engineers who care about speed, security and cost.

GOOGLE CLOUD CONSULTING & DEVELOPMENT

Built for data and AI

TECHTARN provides Google Cloud consulting and development for startups and enterprises in the USA, UK, UAE, India, Canada, Australia and Singapore. Our GCP engineers build data platforms on BigQuery, AI solutions with Vertex AI and Gemini, and scalable apps on Cloud Run and GKE.

We write data pipelines in Python, run containers with our Kubernetes team, back Flutter apps with Firebase, and connect GA4 for marketing analytics. All delivered through our cloud & DevOps practice. Multi-cloud? See AWS and Azure.

INTERACTIVE · DATA PLATFORM

Five stages, one connected platform

A modern data platform on Google Cloud moves data through five stages, from the moment it arrives to the moment it changes a decision. Tap a segment to see what happens there.

1. IngestPub/Sub, Datastream and Transfer Service bring data in, in real time or batches.

2. StoreCloud Storage and BigQuery keep raw and modelled data safely.

3. ProcessDataflow, Dataproc and dbt clean and transform it.

4. AnalyseBigQuery SQL and Looker turn data into answers.

5. ActivateVertex AI and APIs put insights and predictions into your apps.

INTERACTIVE · COMPUTE SPECTRUM

How much do you want to manage?

Google Cloud runs code in many ways, from full virtual machines to tiny functions. Slide to see each option.

More controlLess to manage
Compute EngineGKECloud RunCloud Functions
Most control

Compute Engine

Virtual machines with full control of the operating system. Best for lift-and-shift and special software.

Balanced

GKE

Managed Kubernetes for many services, with autoscaling and Autopilot mode.

Low ops

Cloud Run

Run any container, scale to zero, pay per use. Our default for new web apps and APIs.

Least ops

Cloud Functions

Small pieces of code triggered by events, such as uploads or messages.

VERTEX AI & GEMINI

AI that works on your own data

Vertex AI gives access to Gemini and other models, plus tools to ground answers in your documents and databases, evaluate quality and deploy safely. We build assistants, document processing, search, forecasting and recommendations that run inside your Google Cloud project.

Your data stays under your controls. See our Gemini page for more on Google's models.

INTERACTIVE · BIGQUERY SAVER

Scan less, pay less

BigQuery on-demand pricing charges by data scanned. Partitioning a table by date means a query reads only the days it needs. Enter your numbers.

0 GBScanned per query, unpartitioned
0 GBWith date partitioning
Less data scanned per month0 TB

Assumes data is spread evenly across days and the query filters on the partition date. Check current BigQuery pricing for your region.

FAQ

Google Cloud FAQs

Tap a card to open the answer.

01Why choose Google Cloud?
GCP is especially strong for data analytics (BigQuery), AI (Vertex AI and Gemini), containers (GKE, Cloud Run) and global networking. We also work with AWS and Azure.
02What is BigQuery?
A serverless data warehouse that runs SQL over very large datasets without managing servers. It is often the centre of a GCP data platform.
03How do we keep BigQuery costs down?
Partition and cluster tables, select only needed columns, use materialised views and set quotas. Try the partitioning calculator above.
04Cloud Run or GKE?
Cloud Run is simpler and scales to zero — ideal for most web apps and APIs. GKE suits many services that need Kubernetes features. See the compute spectrum.
05Can you build AI with Vertex AI and Gemini?
Yes — assistants, document processing, search and custom models, grounded in your data with access controls. See our Gemini page.
06Do you work with Firebase?
Yes — authentication, Firestore, hosting, functions and messaging, often for Flutter and web apps.
07How do you migrate to Google Cloud?
We assess workloads, set up a secure foundation, migrate in waves with testing, then modernise where it pays off.
08Can BigQuery connect to Google Analytics?
Yes — GA4 exports to BigQuery for deeper analysis. Our analytics team sets it up.
09Is Google Cloud secure?
Google secures the infrastructure; we configure IAM, organisation policies, network controls, encryption and logging for your workloads.
10Do you provide ongoing GCP support?
Yes — monitoring, incident response, upgrades, security and cost reviews under a managed plan.
