| Risk and compliance | BigQuery is the governed place SRE and operations use for reliability engineering |
| Capability | New joiners can see how reliability engineering actually runs |
Story
Information Technology work at National Instruments spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Backup and failover was splitting across regional habits. SRE and operations asked for a shared way to run reliability engineering without freezing local judgment.
Google Cloud (BigQuery) is what they standardized on. Google Cloud provides infrastructure, analytics, and AI services, including BigQuery and Vertex AI, for data-heavy and machine learning workloads. National Instruments uses it as the system of record for backup and failover, with SRE and operations as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
