Looker

Looker (now part of Google Cloud) is a modern data platform that centralizes metrics and business logic in a semantic layer. Using LookML, a modeling language, teams define data relationships, enabling self-service dashboards and interactive reports. Real-time analytics let users drill into data from sources like BigQuery, Snowflake, or MySQL. A data governance approach ensures consistent definitions across the organization. Looker’s robust API also supports embedded analytics into third-party apps. By bridging raw data with a curated semantic model, Looker unlocks deeper insights for data-driven enterprises.
