Big Data: BigQuery

Page 1 of 1


BigQuery: The Data Warehouse

BigQuery is often the main reason companies choose GCP.

  • Serverless: You don't provision "Database Instances." You just drag-and-drop a CSV or JSON file (or stream data in) and start writing SQL queries immediately.
  • Separation of Storage and Compute: You pay for storage (cheap) separately from analysis (queries).
  • Speed: It can scan terrabytes of data in seconds because it splits the query across thousands of Google's internal servers automatically.
