Google Expands BigQuery Data Transfer Service with New Connectors
Google has expanded its BigQuery Data Transfer Service to make it easier for companies to move data into the platform. The service, which is a managed tool for moving data into BigQuery, now includes new connectors and features that support databases, marketing platforms, and data migration tools.
The update includes preview support for Microsoft SQL Server, Shopify, Klaviyo, HubSpot, and Mailchimp, alongside general availability for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and a Snowflake migration connector. This allows companies to connect their operational data stored in transactional systems, making it easier to analyze and report on business performance.
Google has also added direct ingestion into Apache Iceberg managed tables and a fully managed remote Model Context Protocol server for developers connecting AI applications and agents to the service.
