BigQuery
BigQuery is Google Cloud's fully managed and completely serverless enterprise data warehouse.
Born from Google's innovative Dremel technology, BigQuery empowers you to unlock the potential of your data with scalable analysis over vast datasets. Announced in May 2010 and generally available since November 2011, BigQuery has evolved into the autonomous data and AI platform, automating the entire data lifecycle so you can go from data to AI to action faster.
As a Platform as a Service (PaaS), BigQuery supports a dialect of SQL and boasts built-in machine learning capabilities, allowing you to derive insights and make informed decisions with ease. Experience AI-powered conversational and agentic experiences, and leverage a unified data and AI platform for analytics on multimodal data. BigQuery offers the flexibility you need with low-cost ML and interoperability with open source.
BigQuery's unique architecture decouples storage and compute for petabyte-scale analysis while optimizing costs with compressed storage, compute autoscaling, and flexible pricing. Under the hood, BigQuery employs a vast set of Google infrastructure technologies like Borg, Colossus, Jupiter, and Dremel.
For mission-critical workloads, BigQuery also provides managed disaster recovery in the case of a total region outage, relying on cross-region dataset replication capabilities.
BigQuery:
- Supports all data types
- Works across clouds
- Has built-in machine learning and business intelligence, all within a unified platform
