/ Google Cloud Cost Evaluation
Measure what Google Cloudneeds to process
Run Expanso close to selected data sources, then compare downstream volume and Google Cloud spend against your existing baseline.
/ The problem
Where Google Cloud data costs accumulate
Analytics scans, log ingestion, storage, and network transfer vary by service and workload.
Analytics scans
Measure Data Used
Identify records and fields that downstream queries actually need.
Log ingestion
Measure Signal
Separate operationally required events from candidates for filtering or aggregation.
Data transfer
Measure Movement
Map high-volume flows that cross regions or cloud boundaries.
/ The Expanso difference
Evaluate processing close to the source
Define a representative workflow, target connected nodes with labels, and measure outputs before changing production routing.
/ How it works
What to test
Use customer-owned baselines and acceptance criteria.
Source-side filtering
Selected Records
Test customer-defined filters and inspect each retained and rejected class.
Transformation
Selected Formats
Evaluate aggregation or format changes against downstream consumers.
Routing
Selected Destinations
Verify destination behavior and failure handling before broader deployment.
/ Outcomes
Customer-specific evaluation
Results depend on workload, policy, Google Cloud configuration, and service pricing.
Record source volume, current destinations, and current cloud cost.
Measure retained volume and validate downstream behavior.
Use observed results to decide whether and where to expand.
/ Why Expanso
Why evaluate Expanso for Google Cloud
Near-source execution
Run data-processing pipelines on connected nodes close to where data is generated.
Declarative jobs
Define jobs with YAML and target evaluation nodes with labels.
Measured rollout
Validate a representative flow before changing a wider production path.
/ FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much will we save?
There is no universal savings percentage. Establish a cost and volume baseline and calculate the observed effect using your own pricing.
What should we test first?
Choose one high-volume flow with clear downstream requirements and a reversible routing plan.
Will existing queries still work?
That must be verified during the evaluation against agreed query, dashboard, and data-retention criteria.
