This feels more like a question about the modern data stack (MDS), which has gotten very robust thanks to fierce competition and generative AI in everyone’s back pocket. Without knowing more about your skill set, team skill depth, and current stack it’s hard to give strong advice, that said, automation and efficiency will always be in style.
Here’s a list of my ideal stack, but each of these have some pretty good competition, and note, not all are in the Looker Marketplace.
- Dashboards = Looker
- fivetran for elt/etl;
- Rollstack for sending dashboard visuals and tables to slides & decks
(if you do a lot of presentations for reporting) - segment for collecting and tracking
- customer analytics - mixpanel
- BQ for warehouse
- dbt to transform data
- github for collaborating on dev projects
- datadog for visibility
