Quickstart demo

This page describes how to get started with data preparation and setup cloud automation for running Google Meridian using Cortex for marketing predefined data models for model inputs in its demo instance in Cloud Shell. This demo includes automatic generation of BigQuery datasets, automatic permission granting, and sample test data. For information about deployment in production environments, see Meridian deployment for Cortex Framework.

For this demo deployment, we recommend using a new Google Cloud project. In some cases when using older projects, you might encounter the following error during workflow creation: ERROR: (gcloud.workflows.deploy) FAILED_PRECONDITION: Workflows service agent does not exist. To resolve this, rerun the deployment script. This will ensure the necessary service agent is created and complete the deployment.

This demo deployer automatically executes the notebook as part of the deployment process. To begin the demo:

  1. Click the following button to open Cloud Shell:
