100% recommend the BigQuery and Segment combo. It’s so easy to setup and querying is just SQL. Few annoying issues though: Metabase is brilliant, but doesn’t support big query datasets properly so isn’t really able to be used. We’re in the process of switching to Tableau for our BQ queries, which allows powerful joins across all sorts of different data sets

I had a similar issue and switched to https://holistics.io. Working great so far.

I was thinking of using elastic search and Kibana, mostly because I know the stack already. Do you think i should rather look into BigQuery and Segment?
I'm not an expert, but I looked at both BQ and ELK and went with BQ just for ease of ops and the fact we can use SQL, which makes it more accessible to other team members who know SQL.
We're a small startup though, so last thing I wanted was even the slightest ops load from a new system.
