There is no one-to-one managed service in Google Cloud that precisely matches Apache Pinot’s real-time, low-latency OLAP capabilities out of the box. However, you can achieve similar outcomes by combining tools like BigQuery (with streaming ingest via Dataflow or Pub/Sub) and possibly BI Engine for acceleration—albeit with some differences in concurrency, ingestion latency, and query performance trade-offs.

If you need Pinot’s exact real-time query performance profile (especially for user-facing analytics on constantly updating data at scale), the most direct path is often to run Apache Pinot on GCP (e.g., on GKE) or use a third-party managed Pinot solution.

StarTree Cloud, powered by Apache Pinot, is a 3rd party service that runs on Google Cloud. [Disclosure: I work for StarTree.]
