If your team lives in dbt and Looker, the best default warehouse is usually Snowflake.

Why Snowflake is a strong fit

  • Very smooth dbt support: common, well-tested, and easy to operate.
  • Great with BI tools like Looker: fast SQL performance and concurrency handling.
  • Separation of compute/storage: easy to scale and manage cost.
  • Works well for analytics teams: especially if you want low ops overhead and predictable behavior.

Other good options

  • BigQuery

    • Best if you’re already deep in the Google Cloud ecosystem.
    • Very low maintenance and strong for large-scale analytics.
    • Often a great choice with dbt + Looker too, especially if your data is already in GCP.
  • Redshift

    • Good if you’re heavily on AWS.
    • Can work well, but typically requires more tuning/ops than Snowflake or BigQuery.

Quick recommendation

  • Choose Snowflake if you want the safest all-around choice for dbt + Looker.
  • Choose BigQuery if you’re GCP-first.
  • Choose Redshift if you’re AWS-first and already standardized there.

If you want, I can also give you a decision matrix based on cloud provider, budget, scale, and team size.
