Decode GA4 deploys from the Google Cloud Marketplace in about 5 minutes and turns GA4's nested BigQuery event_params array into flat tables with direct dot-notation columns, cutting a typical 14-line UNNEST query down to about 5 lines. It reprocesses each BigQuery partition exactly once and adapts automatically when GA4 changes its schema, so pipelines don't quietly break. Output tables plug into Looker Studio, dbt, Dataform, Tableau or Power BI, and can also export to AWS S3 or Azure Blob as Parquet for cross-cloud use.
What holds up
- +Cuts a 14-line UNNEST query down to about 5 lines of plain dot notation
- +Adapts automatically when GA4 changes its schema — no broken pipelines to fix by hand
- +Exports to AWS S3 or Azure Blob as Parquet, not locked to BigQuery-only tools
Mind the limits
- −Requires a GA4 BigQuery export already set up — no fit if you're not exporting to BigQuery
- −Deploys via Google Cloud Marketplace — adds a GCP billing dependency to your stack
