We are going BIG on DATA

Mark Rochefort29 June 20202 min read

See what we did there? Okay, so maybe a tad too much on the title. It is catchy, so hey.

Firstly - we are pretty chuffed to welcome Lace to our team. She joins us to spearhead our offering in all things DATA science and data engineering, which (to be completely frank) is where all roads point in this analytics game. With the advent of App plus Web (from Google Analytics), and particularly the opportunity to access raw data through BigQuery, this is an exciting place to be right now.

Secondly - we are growing the team and going BIG. It has been a crazy few months. The pandemic still prevails. People are uncertain of what the future looks like. And so this is precisely the time to grasp that nettle and carve out a path for our future. We are fortunate to already be working in a field that has become even more relevant; it is a fairly good bet right now. What all this has changed though are the parameters within which we can play. Suddenly we are all working from home - and that changes how we all look at stuff. It also means we can look to revisit the status quo for the better - forever - to create a more sustainable and scalable way of doing all this. Again - quite an exciting place to be!

So that's all... If you think any of these roles could be you then get in touch (by emailing jobs@measurelab.co.uk). In fact - get in touch if you think that Measurelab might be the right sort of place for you. We are more about finding the right people than finding people who fit a job description.

How to make an AI agent accurate in BigQuery

A year ago, I wrote about getting a BigQuery warehouse ready for AI ( Easy ways to prepare your BigQuery warehouse for AI) , but didn't look properly into Knowledge Catalog (known as Dataplex at the time). We decided to go back and look through Google's Knowledge Catalog properly: what's actually in there, how it works and what it relates to. What Knowledge Catalog is Knowledge Catalog is Google's metadata layer for BigQuery data (and a few other sources). It sits alongside your tables rather

What's actually in Google's Knowledge Catalog

Google's Knowledge Catalog has been renamed four times. Data Catalog, then Dataplex Catalog, then BigQuery universal catalog, then Dataplex Universal Catalog, and now Knowledge Catalog, as of 10 April 2026. The API, gcloud and IAM roles still all say "dataplex". If you land on a page that mentions Dataplex and wonder whether you're reading something out of date, you're probably not. That's just the product's fifth name in four years. I spent some time looking through the different sections of K

BigQuery Tips: When your query is technically correct but BigQuery won't run it

There is a particular kind of frustration that comes from staring at a query you know is correct and watching it fail. No syntax error. No logic problem. Just a wall. We hit two of them on the same project. What we were building The job was to migrate ga4_daily_snapshot for a large enterprise client from a BigQuery scheduled query into a proper Dataform pipeline. The scheduled query had been added to over time until it was too large to maintain with any confidence. Moving it to Dataform w
