I'm leaning towards option D. Replicating data to Cloud SQL for MySQL and creating federated tables in BigQuery sounds like a robust solution.

Option B with Cloud Data Fusion also sounds promising. The ability to transform the data as part of the loading process could be really useful. Plus, it's a managed service, so that could make it easier to set up.

Hmm, I don't know. Replicating the data to Cloud SQL and then using federated tables in BigQuery sounds a bit convoluted to me. Plus, I'm not a big fan of vendor-specific solutions.

Yeah, I hear you. I was hoping for something a little more straightforward, you know? Maybe we could just export the data to a CSV and upload it to BigQuery.
