BigQuery is nice but it's definitely a major foot-gun in terms of cost. It's surprisingly easy to rack up high costs with say a misconfigured dashboard or a developer just testing stuff.

Definitively agree here. Once the data is in BigQuery, people will start doing ad-hoc queries and building Grafana dashboards on top of it.

And sooner or later (usually sooner) somebody will build a fancy Grafana dashboard and set it to refresh every 5 second and you will not notice it until it's too late.

Frankly I think this is just a sign that it's a power tool for power users.

Sadly my colleagues aren't always "power users"

Nobody starts as a power user
