BigQuery is a fully managed, serverless data warehouse designed for real-time analytics on large-scale datasets. It allows organizations to analyze petabytes of data with high performance and minimal setup, making it ideal for large-scale data analysis and business intelligence workloads. BigQuery supports SQL-based querying and integrates with Google Cloud’s ecosystem for machine learning and data visualization.
A healthcare organization uses Google BigQuery for storing and analyzing patient health records and research data, while leveraging Amazon RDS for patient management applications. The integration between BigQuery and AWS services needs to be handled through custom APIs, secure data pipelines, and intercloud networking to keep data interoperable and synchronized across clouds.
