Big Query is Google Cloud’s data warehousing solution. It is a fully managed enterprise service that helps you manage and analyze your data. Designed to handle and query petabytes of data, which is 1000 terabytes or a 1,000,000 gigabytes, it can handle data from small companies to massive corporations with ease.
BigQuery is a distributed database system that uses an SQL-like language, so if you know how to write SQL, using BigQuery will come easy to you. BigQuery does come with a cost for storing data and querying data, but unless you’re working with petabytes worth of data regularly, the costs for using BigQuery should be minimal.
The data will be collected through Google Analytics 4 , the data will then be exported to BigQuery. This means that you can take ownership of the data that is being collected.
The analytics data will be stored in BigQuery within Google Cloud. If you have other data storage requirements, get in touch and we can see if we can accommodate your needs.
