As one of the technical reviewers of this newly published book, I really feel fortunate to be a part of this project. Here's few things I want to highlight about the book:1. First things first, Congratulations to the author Abirami Sukumaran! I gave her some hard time with my reviews and she has been gracious to accept the feedback to re-write some of the content! Kudos to her!2. Industry leaders like Priyanka Vergadia & Bagirathi Narayanan have been kind enough to give their forewords for this book. Cant get better than this!3. IMHO, the book has a good mix of depth & breadth of the topics covered. As the title suggests, this is into over databases design and not much data engineering though.4. Google Cloud services have been explained in simple terms with relevant examples so the reader can easily follow it and apply at workplace.5. BEST PART, all proceeds from the sale of this book goes to charity. So go and grab your copy in Amazon!Thank you to the Packt team for giving me this opportunity to enrich myself and make good use of my free time!

Disclosure: I work with Abi at Google CloudIf you’re building a modern data strategy or working with Google Cloud, this is a required book for your bookshelf. The author clearly explains now just the “how” but the “why” you’d make a given choice. I enjoyed the author's writing style which was clear and often went the extra-mile to explain a concept.The book looks at topics around choosing the correct database for a given use case, how to set up and configure a variety of Cloud databases, how to think about automated deployments, what a database migration might look like, and how to think about data and LLM apps. These aren't trivial things to understand in a cloud environment, and I thought the author did a very good job providing each topic with the correct amount of depth.If you’re looking for a tutorial on generic data warehousing or database design, this isn’t that book. You won’t find instructions on creating a star schema or choosing between stored procedures or user-defined functions. But this is a book that will give you the right context and the right confidence to successfully use Google Cloud data services in your architecture.

Recently, I’ve been quite busy, but I finally managed to dive into the book “Database Design and Modeling with Google Cloud”. It has been an enjoyable read, serving as both a refresher and an exploration of various topics related to Google Cloud. Let me share my thoughts on this insightful book.Introduction and Focus:The book doesn’t attempt to be an exhaustive encyclopedia; instead, it focuses on introducing essential concepts to beginners on the GCP platform. Specifically, it delves into database setup and configuration within the Google Cloud ecosystem. The author’s intention is clear: provide practical guidance rather than overwhelming readers with generic information.Step-by-Step Guidance:The book offers a step-by-step guide for setting up and configuring different variations of database deployment capabilities on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). These include Google Cloud SQL, BigQuery, and Firestore.Additionally, it provides a quick overview of storage concepts and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) capabilities on GCP.AI & LLMs:The book walks through ingesting data and demonstrates how to use Google Colab to create a notebook for running a sample model. This practical approach helps readers implement their first solutions effectively.Furthermore, the book includes a guided walkthrough on leveraging LLM (Looker, Language, and Machine Learning) using Vertex AI and BigQuery. This combination bridges theory and real-world application.Kudos to the author, for keeping the book grounded in practicality. It’s refreshing to have a resource that focuses on actionable steps rather than abstract theory.While the book is commendable, clearer screenshots could enhance the reader’s experience. Perhaps future editions can address this.In summary, “Database Design and Modeling with Google Cloud” is an excellent companion for anyone beginning their journey on the Google Cloud’s data offerings. Whether you’re a beginner or need a refresher, this book provides valuable insights and practical guidance.
