A list of example projects for Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift.

Example projects

A simple project turning Stackoverflow public raw data into reporting tables in a BigQuery data warehouse.

Stackoverflow data on BigQuery

## Summary

This project transforms four raw datasets (`posts_answers`, `posts_questions`, `badges` and `users`) into two summary reporting tables.

- `posts_combined` brings stackoverflow posts and answers into a single table, with a “type” field for differentiating between the two.
- `user_stats` provides an overview of each users engagement: when they signed up, how many badges they have, and how many posts and answers they’ve made.

stackoverflow-bigquery

A fictional ecommerce store project on a Snowflake data warehouse.

Ecommerce store on Snowflake

## Summary

This project transforms four raw datasets (`CUSTOMER`, `NATION`, `LINEITEM` and `ORDERS`) into three summary reporting tables.

- `CUSTOMER_STATS` provides a single view of all customers: how many orders they’ve made, how much they’ve spent, where they’re from.
- `ORDER_STATS` provides a single view of every order, adding the number of line-items it included.
- `DAILY_COUNTRY_STATS` provides an aggregate view of total daily order volumes by country.
