BigQuery is the serverless data warehouse of Google Cloud Platform service. It offers scalable analysis using a dialect of SQL. It allows to store, query and manage data. BigQuery architecture consists of:
- BigQuery storage layer allows to ingest, store and optimize data.
- BigQuery compute layer allows analytics capabilities.
- BigQuery administration allowing Identity and Access Management IAM.
BigQuery separates storage from computing allowing to scale both layers independently based on demand. See more information about BigQuery core technologies.
