What is Google BigQuery?
Google BigQuery is a cloud-based enterprise data warehouse that offers rapid SQL queries and interactive analysis of massive datasets. BigQuery was designed on Google’s Dremel technology and is built to process read-only data. The platform utilizes a columnar storage paradigm that allows for much faster data scanning as well as a tree architecture model that makes querying and aggregating results significantly easier and more efficient. Additionally, BigQuery is serverless and built to be highly scalable thanks to its fast deployment cycle and on-demand pricing.
