Replicate Mixpanel to BigQuery in minutes

Mixpanel is one of the older solutions in the product analytics space that offers business analytics solutions. Since Mixpanel is an analytics-as-a-service application, it collects data from your customers who use your product. In case you want to analyze this data with data from other sources, you will have to extract Mixpanel data and load it to a warehouse for storage or further analysis. Replicate Mixpanel data to BigQuery securely and consistently and let your data analysts do more with data and unlock valuable insights that help you reach your business goals.

This post will help you with loading your data from Mixpanel to BigQuery. If you are looking to get analytics-ready data without the manual hassle you can consider integrating Mixpanel to BigQuery with Daton, so you can focus on getting value out of your data.

 

Why integrate Mixpanel to BigQuery?

If you’re using Mixpanel, you know that it can provide data on user activity as long as your team is willing to invest engineering resources to fully implement it. It’s especially good for companies that want to examine the results of large campaigns with many small events or microtransactions. However, the platform has some significant limitations like its historical data is siloed.

Integrating your Mixpanel data to BigQuery will allow you to have centralized storage for your data so none of the data sits untapped. Also, Mixpanel BigQuery integration will allow you to combine this data with data from other sources for in-depth analysis. Integrate your Mixpanel data to BigQuery to unearth insights that can help you make smarter decisions, optimize processes, and serve customers better.

BigQuery Overview

Google BigQuery is a popular data warehouse solution that provides super-fast SQL-like queries against petabytes of data using the processing power of Google’s infrastructure.

How to replicate Mixpanel to BigQuery?

Here’s an overview of the two approaches you can use to replicate Mixpanel data to BigQuery. This will allow you to evaluate the pros and cons of both and choose the one that best suits your requirement.

Build your own data pipeline

This process needs a lot of experience and consumes a lot of time and manpower. The chances of errors are more due to multiple integrated steps to be executed one after the other. You need to extract data using Mixpanel APIs & then connect it properly with the BigQuery data warehouse. This whole process to build a custom data pipeline requires regular intervention that makes it cumbersome.
