Looker is a powerful data analytics platform that was acquired by Google in 2019 and is now part of the Google Cloud Platform. The platform helps analysts in data discovery, exploration, and visualization activities. Looker is a browser-based platform. The data modeling process is based on Looker's unique modeling language—LookML. It's a language for describing dimensions, aggregates, calculations, and data relationships in the SQL database. LookML for data modeling is a no-brainer for Looker users. Querying is relatively fast and effortless once you get used to the language. Besides, Looker provides a turn-key integration with GitHub (and you don't even need to know how to use git itself).
