An Overview of Google BigQuery (Justin Levandoski)

Google BigQuery is a serverless, scalable, and cost effective cloud data warehouse. Having evolved from internal Google infrastructure (Dremel), BigQuery is unique in a number of dimensions. In this talk, we provide a look at some of the key architectural aspects of BigQuery and how it provides a true serverless and multi-tenant warehousing solution to customers. We then provide an overview of recent features such as BQML and the embedded BI engine that build on these architectural foundations that allow BigQuery to provide a unique data warehousing solution to customers.

Important: Food or drinks will not be permitted in the room during the talk.
