Powerful Data Exploration

Cloud Datalab is a powerful interactive tool created to explore, analyze and visualize data with a single click on Google Cloud Platform. It runs locally and optionally on Google Compute Engine and connects to multiple cloud services easily so you can focus on exploring your data.

Integrated & Open Source

Cloud Datalab is built on Jupyter (formerly IPython), which boasts a thriving ecosystem of modules and a robust knowledge base. Cloud Datalab enables analysis of your data on Google BigQuery, Google Compute Engine, and Google Cloud Storage using Python, SQL, and JavaScript (for BigQuery user-defined functions).

Scalable

Whether you're analyzing megabytes or gigabytes, Cloud Datalab has you covered. Once you are satisfied with your transformation and analysis models, deploy them to BigQuery with the click of a button.

Data Management & Visualization

Use Cloud Datalab to gain insight from your data. Interactively explore, transform, analyze, and visualize your data using BigQuery, Cloud Storage and Python. Build machine learning models using TensorFlow.
