Data Studio
Data Studio is a free business intelligence and data visualization tool developed by Google that allows users to create interactive dashboards and reports. It connects to various data sources, including Google Analytics, Google Sheets, BigQuery, and third-party databases, enabling real-time data analysis and sharing. The tool features a drag-and-drop interface for building visualizations like charts, graphs, and tables without requiring coding skills.
Developers should learn Data Studio when they need to create data-driven dashboards for stakeholders, monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), or visualize data from Google services and other sources in a collaborative environment. It is particularly useful for marketing analytics, business reporting, and data storytelling, as it integrates seamlessly with the Google ecosystem and supports automated data refreshes and sharing via links or embedding.
