Use BigQuery to store and analyze UCP events (optional)

Recording Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) event data offers critical commerce observability. Streaming this data to BigQuery lets you:

  • Monitor performance: Track endpoint latency and identify bottlenecks.
  • Troubleshoot issues: Inspect detailed request and response payloads to debug backend errors.
  • Analyze business metrics: Track revenue attribution and evaluate checkout funnel conversion.

The ucp-analytics reference implementation

Although UCP REST Payload data can be routed to any internal logging system, Google offers the ucp-analytics Python reference implementation that automates the interception, classification, and streaming of events into a BigQuery table for optimized for analysis.
