➤ When It Makes Sense to Use BigQuery


➤ Use it when you have queries that run more than five seconds in a relational database.
➤ BigQuery is suitable for “heavy” queries, those that operate using a big set of data. The
bigger the dataset, the more you’re likely to gain performance by using BigQuery.
➤ Not Suitable for Data Aggregation queries.
➤ BigQuery doesn’t like joins, so you should merge your data into one table to get better
execution time.
➤ BigQuery is good for scenarios where data does not change often and you want to use
cache, as it has built-in cache. What does this mean? If you run the same query and the
data in tables is not changed (updated), BigQuery will just use cached results and will
not try to execute the query again. Also, BigQuery is not charging money for cached
queries.
➤ You can also use BigQuery when you want to reduce the load on your relational
database. Analytical queries are “heavy” and overusing them under a relational
database can lead to performance issues.
