About 75% of their efforts focus on Google Cloud to ensure our infrastructure is robust and capable of supporting a large-scale data pipeline.

We’ve spent between $160,000–$180,000 with them.

Typically, that blend of expertise comes at a premium—one that’s often out of reach for newer companies.
They’re not the most technically proficient, but I knew that going in.
