Google BigQuery

Google BigQuery is a serverless, managed analytics data warehouse that runs on Google Cloud. It is developed by Google as part of Google Cloud and is a proprietary, commercial-only product with no self-managed or open-source edition. Queries are run without the customer provisioning servers. On-demand pricing is based on the amount of data a query scans, charged per TiB, and storage is billed separately. A free tier is offered alongside the on-demand model. The specific rates were not retrieved from the pricing page, so no figures are quoted here and buyers should check the current Google Cloud pricing page before estimating costs. Because charges follow the volume of data scanned, the cost of a workload depends on how queries are written and how data is organised, which is worth testing on a sample before committing to production use. The service is delivered only as a managed cloud product on Google Cloud, so it suits organisations already using, or willing to use, that platform. No version scheme or first release year was found, so no latest release is stated, and no licence change, end-of-support notice or closed product line was identified.
